Bookmarking videos hosted by 3rd parties (Vimeo, Youtube, etc)

Dec 02, 2020

I have been tasked with creating a training course in Articulate that includes a 1 1/2 hour video hosted on Vimeo. Our LMS has a 10oMB course size limit (I know, they need to update that!) so I can't just insert the video. But linking to it presents the challenge of not having a bookmarking option - always starts over so you'd have to write down where you left off. I'm also having issues with it showing completed when they leave and come back, but I think I can fix that with a quick quiz, submit results slide. 

Has anyone else bumped into this and if so, did you find any workarounds? Thanks for any help, I just haven't run into this issue in the past.

Hi Tracy, 

Thanks for reaching out! 

Videos hosted on third-party websites are an external resource, so there's no way to include them when a course is bookmarked. When videos are added directly from websites, they are essentially just being 'embedded' in a course, so the videos remain in the website. The only way to resume videos in a Storyline 360 course is to add them directly from a file

Hope this helps!
