I am an enthusiastic but frightened newbie who's just been hired to create a video-based e-learning. :-o
The first and main slide will feature an intro video and seven branching choices. The learner can return to this screen pretty much anytime throughout the training. Upon return to this main screen, I want the learner to be able to play the video again *if desired,* but I don't want it to play automatically. I also want them to be able to start/stop the video as desired and to click on any of the seven choices again at any time.
Am I asking too much (of myself? of Storyline?)? Any help would immensely appreciated! Is there a tutorial that discusses this? I haven't found one.
Are you suggesting that the button I insert essentially be a PLAY button, upon return to the page? I'm wondering whether that would be confusing, given the PLAY button embedded within the video...? Or am I not fully understanding?
The button I included was meant to mimic a branching choice, it was not meant to be a play button. With my setup, the video will play automatically the first time the slide is visited. From then on, everytime a user returns to the slide, the video will not replay on its own.
Thanks for the clarification, Matthew. I do want to learned to be able to opt to play (start/stop) the video upon subsequent visits. I guess I just enable video controls for that?
In my example, the video controls are always available, even on subsequent visits to this slide. Users can even just click on the video itself to play it again.

One option is to set the 'Play video' property to 'From trigger' and then use a setup as shown below.
Thank you, Michael! I appreciate your feedback!
