About tracking interval
Video Time tracks locally in the browser using javascript when the user is currently watching the video by listening to the video player's events like play, paused etc. This data is periodically submitted to Moodle. Using the tracking interval option, the teacher can configure how often this happens: Normal (every 5s), Long (every 60s) Very long (every 5m). It can also be disabled, which means that the data is never sent to Moodle. Please note that using a longer interval decreases the accuracy of the tracking as well as the precision of the resume feature and prevent fast forwarding. On the other side, it can reduce the load on the server, in particular the databases by significantly reducing the number of database queries.
Please note: Nothing will be tracked if a user leaves the page quicker than the tracking interval. It is therefore not recommended to change this setting unless you have a very long video (e.g. a full day live stream) and/or if it's ok for your use case to have less reliable/less accurate reporting.
