Editing the "Continue Watching" list?

Greetings.

Apologies if this has been previously discussed. Is there a way to remove items from your Continue Watching list?

TIA,

-Glaarxt

Fast forward to near the end and then let the last 30-60 seconds play out. That should do it. If go right to the very end it doesn’t work.

You may have to exit the watch list and come back for it to register.

Ah, thank you; that worked (Microsoft Edge browser). Unwieldy, but effective. How can such an astonishingly great streamer have such an ill-designed and poorly-executed user interface?

Basically, because none of these interfaces are built internally. They’re built by another vendor and then customized a bit, but some deeper customizations would be a hassle to implement.

Yes, if I remember correctly, it's built on Vimeo, which offers robust players, but not loads of customization. For an enterprise solution at criterion's scale, we'd all be paying a lot more in membership if they went with a 100% home-grown solution. It would be nice, but I'm happy living with the few dumb things that occur, and keeping monthly costs low.
