Play/Pause button behaviour question

Apr 07, 2020

Hello,

I've noticed that clicking player's play/pause button at the end of slide timeline it makes this slide start again.

Was it always like this? Is there any possibility to prevent it from restarting the slide?

I didn't know this behaviour before and used "when timeline starts" trigger a lot in my projects and restarting slides make them not working as I expected.

I'm including simple file to show what I mean.

Hi Tomasz,

Thanks for reaching out, and I'm happy to help clarify! To answer your questions:

Was the play/pause button always like this?

This option is only available for the modern player style. It adds a play/pause button to the bottom of your player. The classic player style also has a play/pause button, but it’s combined with the seekbar as a single unit.

Is there any possibility to prevent it from restarting the slide?

No, there's not an option to prevent restart, but you can always remove it from the Player if you prefer not to have it. To do this:

  1. In the Home tab, click on the Player button.
  2. In the Features menu, uncheck the Play/Pause box.

Hope this helps!
