About the previous Playback
If you followed a link here, it probably pointed at a replay, a room or a creator page on the previous playback.tv. That product shut down in December 2025. The domain later changed hands, and what you are looking at now is a different product with no connection to the company that ran it.
What happened to the old links
- Replays were recordings of live sessions hosted by that service. They were its own files, not links to videos elsewhere, and they did not survive the shutdown. There is no copy of them here.
- Creator pages such as playback.tv/name are held rather than reassigned. Anyone who used one can claim it. Nobody else can register it.
- The old blog and help pages are gone. We have not republished them.
If you cited a replay
A number of articles quoted things said during sessions on the old service and linked to the recording as the source. Those recordings no longer exist, and we cannot restore them. If you are the author of such an article, the original quote stands on your own reporting; the link now lands here so readers can see why the source is unavailable rather than hitting a dead page.
What playback.tv is now
A place to show someone an exact moment in a video. Paste a link, mark where the moment starts and ends, slow it down or loop it, and share a URL that opens right there. People can react at a precise instant and discuss it underneath.
We never host or re-stream video. Every Playback plays through the official player of the site the video lives on.
