When viewing the video –
Use the control bar across the bottom. If it disappears, click on the bottom area and it will reappear.
Volume control is the multiple vertical bars on the control bar. If that is not loud enough, you can buy the small earphone buds, and plug them into your Laptop/IPad/tablet/phone to give you much better sound.
Size is controlled by the little 4-dot icon on the right on the control bar. Clicking that will make it full screen and easier to see.
You can stop and start the video and watch it as often as you like. By moving the narrow blue moving line back with your finger or cursor, you can repeat a section.
