The mouse cursor hovers as a hand over the video and when clicked pauses the visual recording but not the audio. How can it pause both? If not, how can the hand hover be prevented?
Is the audio separate from your recording? If so, you could add a trigger to pause the audio on click. However, if you'd like to avoid interaction with the video all together, you could place a large shape over the video and set the transparency to 100%. You won't be able to see the shape and users won't be able to click on the screencast to pause it.
I just ran across this tutorial from Mike Enders earlier today - check out the first video on this page which looks at adding a hotspot over top of the video and then disabling the hand cursor: http://www.articulate.com/blog/the-humble-hotspot/

Hi Karim,

Let me know how it goes!
Thanks Christine - There is separate audio per screencast. If I add the trigger to pause, how do I resume synched playback on reclick?
Hello Karim,

Adding the hotspot and disabling the mouse is the best option that I can come up with for removing the mouse hover feature on a video.
Thanks for the tip.
