Hi There! I'm using Storyline to put together a (really cool) museum-style interaction that will play on a touch screen computer at a historical site! I'd like to essentially make the interaction play full screen at 1280X720, so I've gone in and set all of the player elements as transparent. Here's my question: I have gotten rid of everything but the previous and next buttons- how do I turn these off?
Try enabling the volume or captions button in the player. That will create a "placeholder" on the front menu slide, and the player will maintain the same width as it would if the next/previous buttons were turned on.
What about the Play button? Doesn't seem to be an option to disable or hide this. I'm showing a video on a separate layer; the video is located on a streaming server and has its own controls. But the Play button in the Storyline player is still visible and active, and if someone were to click on it, it would bring them back to the base layer, interrupting the video.
"You're using a custom "Submit" button and they're still showing up? Do you have the default buttons enabled on any other slides in the course? If so, that may be what's happening."
Check your complete file for any slide even if you might not be using that slide in a regular flow of your course!
Sorry to hear you're running into this issue as well! Are you comfortable with sharing your .story file for testing? You can share it publicly here, or privately with our support engineers. We'll delete it when we nail down what's going on!
I found the settings in the slide properties, but I keep getting an error message when I try to save the player settings to show the next and previous menu.
I see you and Renato from our Support team are already troubleshooting to get to the root of this error. Thanks for reaching out to us, and you're in great hands!
In the question slide. After submitting the question: when i come back to that question using custom previous button, i see the default next and previous button. I already unselected the Next and Prev button. If anyone have anu idea using javascript or anything. Please let me know...

Hi Bryan,

Thanks for the suggestion. Alyssa.
The project has no audio or video so that introduces redundant buttons too. We'll live with jumping for this one.

Hi Donald!
Can you share a screenshot of the play button you're referring to? Is it the play button that is attached to the player seekbar?
If so, you can hide the entire seekbar on a slide by disabling that feature in Slide Properties.
Thanks Christine Hendrickson

Hi,
I am experiencing the same issue of the PREV & NEXT buttons appearing in the Player although they have been disabled in Story view?
Any solution to this?
Cheers,
