Volume control in player moved from left to right side of seekbar
+1 asking for a solution to move the player controls to the left hand side. Every single time the user needs to click Next / Prev or Submit they roll over the volume controls. This is not a good design decision for something that a user is traditionally only going to need to adjust once at max during a course.
That would be assuming you are not using custom navigation on each page.
1) This is the default player behavior that Articulate is establishing as a standard with their Modern player. Regardless of what custom work is done later, this should have sound UX practices tested out of the box within the parameters of basic expected use.
2) Custom navigation on each page wouldn't necessarily preclude the fact that the volume control could still be perceived as "in the way" any time the user reaches into the lower-right corner of the window, where (very) often even custom navigation and custom submit buttons live.
