Top 5 VK Video features you don’t know about

There are many popular applications in the VK ecosystem, among which VK Video has a significant place. This platform not only provides access to movies and videos, but also produces exclusive content for a long time. We have already talked about the best entertainment programs on VK Video, now we will talk about interesting features of the application that you may not know about.

Subtitles

Do you watch Korean series? Turkish series? French musicals? Concerts of British and German bands? Japanese anime? Now you can watch your favorite content on VK Video in its original form with Russian subtitles. This is a really useful feature for those who want to learn a foreign language. In Europe, almost all foreign films are shown with subtitles in the original; Russian viewers, on the contrary, are used to dubbing, and partly for this reason, foreign languages ​​​​can be more difficult. VK Video algorithms allow you not only to add subtitles, but also to edit them. Just specify the language of the text and download the fragment (maximum number: 5). You can select a specific fragment or the User Language mode. Thus, you can create your own Russian content by translating into different languages ​​​​of the world. This option makes the application suitable for international use in the future.

Watch videos offline without internet

You can watch videos in the VK Video application where there is no Internet access. To do this, simply click on the “down arrow” icon in the lower right corner of the player or the three dots in the upper corner and select the option you are looking for. The video will be downloaded to your device (smartphone or laptop). Do not forget to delete the videos you have watched to free up memory.

Continue viewing from different devices

You watched your favorite series on your computer and now you plan to continue watching it while you are going to college, but you forgot the time and episode. Sounds familiar, right? Especially if you watch content on different sites. But in VK Video, your viewing history is saved, so the video opens on your smartphone right at the moment you left it.

Many useful sections and viewing modes

You can find a lot of interesting things by browsing the VK Video library. In order not to lose anything, just save the video by selecting the “watch later” option. Those who prefer to watch broadcasts in real time should look at the “broadcasts” section, if you really want to unload, the application also has the opportunity to watch short videos. Moreover, the algorithms select personalized content, which changes depending on the viewing history: if you clear it, the recommendations will include exactly the videos you liked. Interviews and podcasts can even be played in the background, as they are more suitable for listening than watching. For multitasking users, there is an option to display a “window in a window” – that is, the video will continue to play in a small window while you are replying in the messenger or searching for information in a search engine. Moreover, the reduced video can be resized (you need to click on the video and spread it out with two fingers), it can be freely moved around the screen or completely hidden from the screen by moving it to the side.

Many tools for bloggers

VK Video is not only a library of movies, shows and high-quality videos, but also a platform for bloggers. Now talents from different parts of the country have the opportunity not only to express themselves to a wide audience, but also to earn money. Content authors can participate in the monetization program. For example, the platform allows you to publish a short video with a transition to a longer format. So, someone who likes a two-minute video can switch to the extended version in two clicks. In order not to lose anything, you can save certain issues of the author in the “Subscriptions” section and watch them whenever you want.
