video playback
Viewing recorded footage
Video playback is the process of viewing recorded video content, whether from a file, disc, or streaming source.
The term emphasizes the reproduction of previously captured footage rather than live viewing.
In technical contexts, playback often appears alongside controls and settings: Adjust the playback speed to watch at double time.
Video playback quality depends on factors like resolution, frame rate, and the capability of the device or software doing the playing.
