Play Pause in the Player
Sep 06, 2018
Hello!
I may have missed the post or perhaps I'm not searching correctly, but I need my viewer to be able to pause the audio/storyline 360 and start again, at will. While the seek bar does allow this, it also allows the viewer to slide the bar forward and skip the content. The assessment calculates each slide whether viewed or skipped so it's important to prohibit this option.
Aside from adding a button on EVERY slide, is there another way to allow the viewer to stop and start but not skip ahead?
Thank you.

Hi Judy
there is a setting in the player where you can enable the seekbar and then set an option to not allow the user to scrub the seekbar - they can still play / pause but cannot drag the seekbar to the end - see this Peek
Thank you! I knew there had to be a way.

Hi, I also want to enable the Play/Pause in the modern player but looks like it only works on the base layer, I have multiple slide layers but Play/Pause doesn't work on them. Can you help?
Hi Daniel
in the layer properties panel do you have the ‘allow seeking’ option selected?
Do you mean on both base and slide layers? I don't. Should the Play/Pause button independent from the seek bar now in the modern player?
OK, just enabled "allow seeking" on slide layers and now it works! Thanks!
Thanks for the update, Daniel! Glad to know that worked for you.
This is not a great solution when you only want them to Play/Stop since by enabling "allow seeking" will also allow the user to skip in the layer.
Does anyone have a solution to allow the user to PLAY/STOP in the layer but not skip?
Hi Daniela,
If you've added media to the layer, you could look at adding in a custom button to play, pause or stop the media:
There are also triggers to pause/resume the timeline that you may want to look at using.
That would be separate from the slide or layer seekbar with the play/pause button.
