Pausing entire slide that has layers

Apr 23, 2020

Is there a way of pausing a slide with layers that has:

  • Audio
  • video

Where is the Pause settings in Storyline 3. I can't seem to make the video or audible pause when I hit the play button.

Hello AJ,

Pausing the layers on a slide via the seekbar would be based on how you have the slide layer properties set.

With your permission, I'd like to take a look at your project file to investigate what's happening. You can share it publicly here, or send it to me privately by uploading it here. I'll delete it when I'm done troubleshooting.

Thanks for responding so quickly. I found the gear button for the base layer, but I didn’t see a pause button included in the Slide navigation and gestures settings. I would like to be able to pause the WBT at any point.

Thanks,

Hi AJ,

Thank you for reaching back out! 

When clicking on the gear button for the slide layer, what are the current settings? To ensure that the audio and video files can be paused on those layers, you will want to allow seeking

   

With seeking enabled for the layer, the seek bar should now allow you to pause the audio and video files for that layer. 

If you are running into any snags, please let us know!
