Hmm.. I must be doing something wrong then. Logged in on my Chrome on Mac, watched a video, paused it. Closed tab, reloaded tab. The video plays from the beginning. Opened the same video on my iPhone, official youtube app. Plays from the beginning as well.

I guess I need to investigate this further. I didn't realize official google apps support this functionality because it's never worked for me. Thanks for mentioning it.

hi @tra3 currently, Echoes doesn't support playing a video from where it was recently paused. if more users request it - i'll add it.

That would be fantastic. Youtube API provides this information so it's definitely possible.

Are you logged in to a Google/YouTube account?

I sure am. In fact, I just logged in from a completely clean browser (Safari, that I dont use on this machine, so no adblock or third party scripts). When looking at a thumbnail of a previously viewed video I see the "progress bar" that indicates where I left off, but clicking on it, doesn't resume the video. It starts it from the beginning.
