I need to include a link to a video in my course but it is to remain optional. Usually the whole course is locked down so all elements have to be completed before marking complete.
Great question! Anything included in the Resource tab isn't required. You can add a video in the Resource tab, and by default, the user can skip over the content.
Content in the Resource tab does not determine if a course is marked complete.
How are you inserting the mp4 file? If it's through a link or if it's a web object, then Storyline won't show it in Preview mode, but you should be able to test it after publishing your project.
When I publish this is the message I get when I click to view the video - the video does not play. However it did play when I tested it in the Player/resource section

I don't see that we received a follow-up from Liesa yet, so I don't have an update to share at this time.
Also, it looks like your attachments didn't go through when you replied by email. Could you try attaching them here? Then we will reach out shortly after with the next step!
Thanks for sharing the error you are receiving. You mention that you're publishing the content, but are you uploading and viewing it in the environment it was published for?
If you view a Storyline 360 course on your local hard drive (or send it to others to view on their local hard drives), you'll encounter security restrictions from the computer, web browser, and network that can cause various features of the course to fail. To test your published content and share it with others, upload it to the environment it was published for.
We were previewing in Storyline and also publishing and then opening the published version but we are not viewing in LMS, which will be where users access the eL module from.
Is this the issue? It is probably OK but we won't know until it is tested in LMS?

Thank you 😊

Hi,
We have encountered an error message when uploading an mp4 file.
The following message appears when we try and preview or in a published version:
The link is not active whilst previewing.
Plus we also see another coded error message in publish view.
Any advice?

Hi, Liesa.

What error are you receiving after publishing?
Hi, we’ll send a copy 😊

Hi
I am following upon the query that Liesa Rock raised (see attached email).
I followed the instructions and added the URL link and changed the trigger to

Hi,
I am working with Lucy, so was asking on her behalf.
Lucy, fyi - I think the attachments need to be made through the Heroes site vs in an email.

Storyline 360: Publishing and Sharing Content
Hi,
We were previewing in Storyline and also publishing and then opening the published version but we are not viewing in LMS, which will be where users access the eL module from.
Is this the issue? It is probably OK but we won't know until it is tested in LMS?

Hi Liesa,
You got it! By not viewing the file in the LMS, you are viewing it locally.
If you need an environment to test prior to loading to the LMS, perhaps you can use a trial of SCORM Cloud.
Thank you everyone for your help.
One more thing I've learnt in this new space for me.
