The Lowdown:

If you use videos on your site and would like to have a system that uses WordPress comments to allow for comments on the videos this one is for you. It allows your visiters to select video time code to make the comment on instead of just the entire video. You can apply plugin to all videos or only videos you insert with a shortcode. It groups comment togetehr if many peoplle comment on same section of a video. You can set it to only allow coments during a specific point in the video and customize it in many ways.

What they say about it.

A plugin thanks to which your readers can directly comment videos in your posts. The comment can refer to specific scenes (timespan), as well as single chosen points. Implementation with native WordPress comment system allows for using default features – such as answering to already existing comments. The plugin is particularly useful when you have a website with trainings, or maybe you are a videoblogger or a videomaker sharing the progress of your works with clients. There is also a great potential in longer productions, where the audience is able to refer both to specific scenes and multiple short forms in one entry – each movie will have its exclusive comment system. Furthermore, the dynamic timeline allows you to observe the comments that appeared in reference to the specific scenes. Clicking the number, you can play the film directly from the commented section. You can also see how the comments overlap. Support for YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Dailymotion, Google Drive, Dropbox and integrated WordPress Media embed makes the plugin quite a versatile and universal tool.
