Can you pause a slide while and image is zoomed?

I have multiple slides with the following:  several bullets on the left describing a large screen shot on the right side of the slide.  I have added "Insert Zoom" to the screen shot and it works as expected.  I need the slide to pause while the student inspects the zoomed image.  I want the slide to resume when the student then clicks on something - either the image again or elsewhere on the slide.  If I click the zoom icon, the image opens and stays zoomed but after a few seconds, the slides continue to scroll in the background (as opposed to pausing as I would like).  Is it possible to do what I'd like?

One way you can do it:

  • When the user clicks the zoom image, add a trigger to pause the timeline. The challenge is resuming the timeline since clicking to close the image doesn't have a trigger association.
  • I'd add a continue button and set the initial state to hidden.
  • On the button:
    • add a trigger to resume timeline when clicked
    • change the state of the button to hidden
  • On the image
    • pause timeline when clicked
    • change state of the button to normal
