## Frequently Asked  
Questions

### What is a progress bar in a video?

A time progress bar is the best way to visualize how long and what your current progress is within a video.

Social media is saturated with flashy and interesting content, you can probably imagine that attention spans are super low. Posting text only or a simple image will no longer cut through the clutter.

A progress bar signals to the viewer that your content is not a static image but dynamic and something interesting might happen if they continue to watch. All in all, adding a progress bar is an easy, fast, and great way of increasing the engagement of your content on any social media platform.
