it seems I wasn't clear enough. I am looking for a solution, which forces a learner to watch a video which is setup inside an Engage step. Only after watching the complete video he is allowed to skip to the next step inside the same Engage interaction.
I'm looking for an answer to this question for Engage '13.
I need the learner to view the entire video (step) before advancing to the next step.
Interactive mode allows me to hide the Previous/Next buttons but that would just make the whole course play through with no required interaction.
Linear mode forces the user to view steps in order but does not give me the option to hide Previous/Next allowing the learner to skip entire steps (videos) without even truly completing the step.
Presentation mode is the closest to what I need where the presentation advances by itself. However, this allows the learner to let the whole course run by itself with no interaction.
You are correct. Those are the available playback modes within the Engage Interactions. One of these options will have to be chosen for utilization in your course. You cannot specify a 'special' playback mode for one step.

You can do that by locking the slide in Slide Properties.

You could also set up the interaction, if there's more than one step, to play like a presentation. This will ensure they view everything:
