Hi, hoping you can help. We're new to making Storyline 3 courses accessible. We have a course that was built and designed 4 years ago without accessibility in mind. We'd like to make it accessible now. Two roadblocks we've encountered is 1) We did not use the Storyline player, we created custom screens with custom navigation bar. Is there a way to have this nav bar not be read by the screen reader on every screen? (E.g., possibly have a link on each screen that skips the navigation bar and goes directly to the content on the screen)
2) Is there a way to make the video playbar accessible or do we need to create the play, pause, stop, rewind, and fast forward manually on every screen?
We too had created custom screens and navigation bar for a project, and yes you can provide accessibility to them. Right-click on each element and select the Accessibility option, here you can check or uncheck depending on if you need it to be accessible or not.
I checked with regards to the video playbar - I don't think it is accessible. Perhaps others may guide you here.
Thank you, Sajna, for your quick response. Are you saying that this is the only way to have the screen reader NOT read the nav bar on every screen? Do you think my suggestion about adding a link would not work?

Hi Carol,
Sorry! I haven't worked with links for accessibility so I don't know if it would work or not.
Thanks
Hi Carol,
I haven't seen a link that can skip navigation on the slide, but you can skip the player navigation as that's built-in.
You could also look at customizing the tab order and that's done on a slide by slide basis.
Hope that helps point you in the right direction!
