Using the plugin

After the plugin is installed, you can add the video widget to the dashboard. If you upload any supported video file (which is most types of video) and set it as 'presentable', it will show up in the list of this widget.

To start a video, simply click the 'present' icon next to the video you want to play. Next, click the 'play' icon. When you do so, the video will automatically enter fullscreen mode, and remain in this mode until you pause the video.

To restart a video, simply click the present button again.
