Feature request: Show video time-stamps when mouse-hovering time slider

Very often in Q&A posts, students give a timestamp, and/or in my replies I tell them which timestamp to go to.

But in the current Udemy video player, you cannot see directly the timestamp until you click on it. Therefore, it's a bit annoying and time-consuming to find a specific point in a video. And if the internet connection isn't that great, it can take really long to find a specific part of the video.

Compare this with, e.g., YouTube's player, where hovering the mouse over the time slider at the bottom of the video shows the timestamp in a little window. That makes it really easy to jump to a specific location in the video.

Can we please have this feature in Udemy? It would really enhance the user (student and instructor) experience.

HI @MikeXCohen
Currently this option is not available on the platform; however, I've passed these suggestions to the team.

Hi @ElianaC
@Bella

Please please please add this feature to Udemy.

I see youtube being a big competitor to udemy in the future. And the number one reason for this is the 'timestamp'

Youtubers will start creating long-format courses on youtube with timestamps.

If this feature is added to Udemy along with its various other features, this will greatly benefit both students & teachers. And we can always tell students why Udemy stands apart from Youtube. And the 'value' they get by signing up for courses on Udemy.

I hope you have some good developers working at Udemy who can get this done.

Thanks in advance
