  2. Use the timeline controls to play the video backward or forward within the time selection brackets.
  3. Optional. Click to start or to stop playing incoming audio when you play the video recording forward at normal speed (for cameras that have microphones attached).
  4. Optional. Click to start or to stop playing audio (for cameras with microphones and speakers attached). Select the audio source you want to listen to when the video recording is with two-way audio (see Playing back audio in video recordings (explained)).
