Im creating a quiz where the user have 90 seconds to answer each question. Since storyline doesn't support timelimits on slides, I have made the timeline 90 seconds long and a layer that gets triggered when timeline ends, with the text "Times up". It all works fine besides that the user can minimize the window, and the timeline pauses. This way its possible to cheat, and do research during each question.
Thank you very much sébastien, I tried to apply your example on my course but it didn't work... :( Thanks anyway, I'm also waiting to hear from the support team
Did you reach out to our Support Team? I'm not seeing case records on our end. If you could share the case number or email address you used to submit the case, I'd be happy to look into this for you.
I tried to replicate this behavior across major browsers but was unsuccessful. The slide timeline will pause if I navigate to a new browser tab or minimizes the browser window. Is this behavior specific to slides playing media, like videos? If so, I can offer JavaScript to pause the video when the course loses focus and resume playback when it regains focus.
Regarding the initial post question. It's worth noting that if the quiz is timed, switching to another tab or window may pause the timeline, but it won't affect the built-in quiz timer. The timer will continue running regardless of the timeline status. Yes, I can browse and conduct research during the quiz session, but the timer will continue counting down.
Thanks for sharing that with me. I see that my colleague Luiza is working with you and reached out to you this morning within your support case. If you are not receiving her emails, just let us know.
We'll continue the conversation over in your case.
