Abstract
A method is disclosed for displaying a sequence of video items on an electronic device. During playback of a current video item, a dismissal input such as a swipe or tap/click is received via a user input mechanism, indicating that display of the current video item is to be ceased and that display of the next video item in the sequence is to be commenced. In response to the dismissal input, summary information is displayed on the display screen, providing non-video communication of an informational payload of the current video item. A timer is started at the commencement of display of the summary information, at the expiry of which display of the next video item is to be commenced. In response to a resumption input such as a touchscreen tap or cursor click on the summary information before expiry of the timer, playback of the current video item is resumed via the display screen.
