Embedded video links - pause

Nov 17, 2022

Hi network, 

I am working on a course where I embedded 2 videos from VIMEO on one slide. Issue now is that the user can push play on both videos and they then play at the same time. Does anyone have a solution at hand? 

Thanks a lot, 

Jana

Hi Jana,

The challenge may lie in attempting to control the Vimeo playback with Storyline's media triggers. 

So, I created two workarounds. The first makes it look like both videos are occupying the same slide layout, but the videos are actually on separate slides. They will never play at the same time this way. 

The second workaround involves using still frames from each video with attached click triggers that launch lightbox slides containing each video. I don't know all your project requirements, but I think this one is better for participants and more straightforward to implement than workaround 1.

Disclaimer: I used two different "test pattern" (Google search) videos from Vimeo for the attached story files, utilizing the share/embed capability the creators provided in each video with the "autoplay" capability selected. I have no association with the creators of those videos and make no claim on or representation about the works.
