Scrubbing

What does 'scrubbing' mean in social media?

In social media, 'scrubbing' refers to the process of quickly navigating through content, especially videos, to find a specific part without watching the entire content. This is similar to fast-forwarding through a video or moving a slider on a video timeline to skip to a different section. It is commonly used by viewers to skip uninteresting parts or to rewatch a particular segment of the video.

Why is scrubbing useful in social media videos?

Scrubbing is particularly useful in social media for several reasons:

• It saves time by allowing users to skip to the most relevant or desired parts of a video.
• Improves user experience as viewers can easily revisit their favorite moments in videos.
• Helps in analyzing specific content more closely, which can be beneficial for educational or instructional videos.

How do you scrub through a video on social media platforms?

To scrub through a video on most social media platforms, you can follow these simple steps:

• Tap on the video you want to watch; this should bring up a timeline at the bottom of the video window.
• Press and hold on the progress bar that indicates how much of the video has played.
• Drag the progress bar left or right to move backward or forward in the video.

This action allows you to quickly locate and watch specific parts of the video without having to view the entire content from start to finish.
