Hidden button to appear on hover

Apr 20, 2021

I am showing a video on a slide where there are no forward and back buttons. If the learner hovers in the upper-right corner, I want a "back" button to appear to return to the main slide.

I tried creating a button with Hidden as the initial state, but I cannot get it to appear when I hover. Do I need to add a hotspot?

Of course, if the learner does not click the button and moves the curser, I want the button to hide again.

This all seems straightforward, but I cannot get it to work. Any tips???

The trouble with the hidden state is that it isn't there, so there is nothing to hover over. Create it with a filled shape (rectangle, or circle, or whatever), then set it to 99% transparency. Your learners can't see it, but the mouse can. Then when you hover over it, it will change to its Hover state.
