Hi,
I am a new member. I read the rules and browsed through the threads. Please advise me if my thread is not relevant here.
I was trying to describe this situation: Say I am watching a video that is so impressing that I watched the whole video without moving my body (as in I was so much focused on the video that I was like frozen, purely focused as astonished). I'd like to describe this moment and I am looking for English expressions used to describe this situation.
What I think it might be: "I just watched the video, and it took my breath away."
I feel like there is a better expression for this situation.
Looking forward to your replies.
Thanks everyone in advance
How do I say this?

Re: How do I say this?
I just watched the video, and it took my breath away. This is fine but not what you describe.
Maybe something like:
I just watched the video, and I was glued to my seat throughout
I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through
It was riveting / I was riveted
