I've used a video to introduce the module I have been creating in Storyline. The slide it's on also has five navigation buttons. The video automatically plays when the module opens and I can navigate quite easily using the buttons. The problem I have is every time I go back to the main navigation page the video starts playing again. I just want it to play once.
Another option is to put the video on it's own layer. Have it show layer when the timeline starts. That will launch the video. You can use a T/F variable to control if it shows the layer or not.
Create a TF variable [playvideo] and set to True.
Create trigger to show video layer when slide starts on condition that playvideo = True.
When they go to the video layer, set a trigger to change the variable to False. And when they revisit the slide, they won't see the video again.
Thank you so much. I set the video options to play when triggered, then added a trigger on the the slide to play video. I also reset the properties to resume saved state and it seems to have worked. Perfect!

Take a look at the slide properties for the slide. You probably want resume saved state on revisiting.
