Tours on the website and the How it works page

The Video Controls Plus website can show you around its pages, and a six-step walkthrough explains the whole product.

Take a tour of a page​

  1. Open one of the pages that has a tour: Home, Features, Plans, Install, Dashboard, Notes or Settings.
  2. Press the tour button in the header, just before the theme button. Its name is "Take a tour of this page".
  3. Press Next and Back to move through the steps, or All steps to jump to any one of them.
  4. Press Skip tour, the close button or Esc to leave at any time.

The first time you open one of those pages, a small hint points at the button: "New here? Take a short tour of this page." It shows once per page, and leaves by itself after 8 seconds. Signed in, the hint remembers the pages you've seen on every device.

On a phone, each step opens as a sheet at the bottom of the screen. A step whose part of the page isn't on screen is left out, so a tour can be a step or two shorter on a phone. The Dashboard and Notes tours also have a short version for when you're signed out.

Walk through Video Controls Plus​

The How it works page has six steps, from your first video to connecting your account:

  1. Control any video
  2. The widget and your keys
  3. Extras on YouTube, Netflix and LinkedIn
  4. Notes, screenshots and your library
  5. AI and Speak
  6. Connect the extension to your account

Move between steps with Back and Next, the arrow keys or a swipe. Each step has its own address, so /how-it-works?step=3 opens step 3. The footer links it as See how it works.
