Abstract: Examples of the systems and methods described herein relate to reducing latency issues associated with playing online digital video on client devices. An example method includes: determining that a client device of a user is displaying a web page; determining a likelihood that the user will select content on the web page, the content being associated with a digital video; determining that the likelihood exceeds a threshold and, based thereon: identifying the digital video associated with the content; obtaining a copy of a video file including the digital video and an initial portion that precedes the digital video; initiating a video player for displaying the digital video; determining a start location in the video file where the initial portion ends and the digital video begins; and configuring the video player to begin playing the video file from the start location when the user selects the content.
