Resume Video where the learner left off

Jul 31, 2023

Hello everyone,

I would like to resume a video where the learner left off if they don't complete it. 

I have an mp4 video in storyline and I have set the slide to 'resume saved state', but it always starts from the beginning. Even if the learner has watched the video till the end. 

I think the problem might be connected to the fact that the whole story is just one slide, the video. Can I make this work somehow?

Hi Lolita,

Thanks for reaching out, and that's a good question! My colleague, Kelly, answered a similar concern, and I'd like to share it with you. Please note that the resume functionality is only available when you publish to LMS.

When a learner exits a slide that has a video on it, the default resume behavior is that the slide will reset to the beginning of the video. The only way to save video progress is by going to the next slideHere's a workaround that may be helpful. While a bit older, it may point you in the right direction! 

Additionally, we currently have a feature request logged for the ability to resume video after exiting a course.

I've added your voice to the feature request, so you'll be notified once it is added. Please let me know if you have any questions.
