Ashley Terwilliger-Pollard Staff 6 years ago05/11/17 at 12:54 pm (UTC) Hi Sadhana, It's not a feature of Storyline yet. Could you share a bit more about how you'd want the information displayed or captured? That info would help the community in offering some other ideas!
Pavel Stupka over 3 years ago02/14/20 at 8:37 am (UTC) Hi, I believe this is very old thread but still actual. Long story short - is there any javascript function to get the current timeline time? For example: var currentTime = GetPlayer().GetTimeline().currentTime;
