Bonjour Heroes.
I know you've all worked hard, so I'm offering you almost 40 hours of relaxation. Don't thank me, it's my pleasure.

I used sliders to create my buttons in order to have the sliding movement, as well as the click for the off position (also accessible via the keyboard). I ran into a number of problems I'd never encountered before, and learned how to offer videos that launch automatically. A good day.

Sooo relaxing!
I ran into the issue that the videos wouldn't play (neither automaticcaly nor clicking on it) the first time I toggled each ambience. Once I toggled trough each of them, they started to play automatically. May be related to loading issues due to video size?

- For your information: videos are not integrated into the module (so there's no problem with weight). I used Youtube videos inserted as web objects, following the procedure described here: https://access.articulate.com/fr-FR/support/article/How-to-Add-YouTube-Videos-to-Articulate-Storyline-360-Courses
(sorry, I can't find this page in English).
So the web object address is https://www.youtube.com/embed/video_id?autoplay=1 where I replace “video_id” with the Youtube video ID, then “?autoplay=1” which automatically starts playback. This works for me. I don't know why it blocks for others.- Très intéressant! I wanted to try it in another browser (Chrome instead of Edge) an now only the fullscreen toggle button seems to work. Did you change anything?
- Thank you Sabrina for taking more time to try my demo again. I haven't done anything more because I don't know what to do. I also tried with Edge and Chrome and the videos don't start and the play buttons aren't clickable, it's true (but the first video frame appears fine). I think I'll post a message on the community forum as this problem is way beyond my skills.
(I'll just add a message on my demo warning that it's having problems on Edge and Chrome and that I'm trying to find a solution)
- Thanks for your feedback, Thaddaeus and Sabrina. Yes, the videos should start automatically (with the settings in SL). Sorry for the problems that make my demo not so relaxing. But I don't know how to solve them. Jayashree and the others (?) don't seem to have encountered them. So perhaps it's more a question of your browsers' settings refusing automatic launches of (inappropriate) videos. Good to know.
