The Control Bar (Classic UI)

The control bar is part of Zoom Player's Classic UI. It has been superseded by Modern UI's Control Overlay, but is still useful, especially when detached and moved to another screen as a separate control interface.

Introduction

Zoom Player's Control Bar is a powerful and flexible interface for navigating the timeline while in fullscreen and dynamically accessing user-selected functionality.

Seeking

By left-clicking the timeline area, you can instantly seek to any position in the currently playing media. By right-clicking on the left/right of the current timeline position, you can seek backward/forward a few seconds.

Control Bar configuration

You can middle-click the timeline to select which text data will appear in the timeline area, control how the control bar reacts to different events and which buttons should appear on the control bar.

You can even detach the control bar and drag it onto a different monitor. Note that when detached, Zoom Player retains separate screen positions for the control bar in either Fullscreen or Windowed mode.
