I've read elsewhere that seeking in landscape on mobile is not possible. However, I uploaded a small file to ScormCloud and tested it on my Android phone and found that it does seem to be a feature now, which is great!
Is there any way to change settings so that you don't have to hit "pause" to show the seek bar and replay button in mobile landscape?
You likely read it here, as noted that the landscape option doesn't allow for seeking. As far as I can tell, that hasn't changed, so I'd want to know what Android device and OS you were testing on.
Also, are you using the latest update of Storyline 360 Update 19?
Wow, well I guess that's a happy accident as far as my testing. I'm using a Nexus 6 running Android 7.1.1.
I'm attaching two screenshots showing the seek bar and replay buttons appearing whenever I press "Pause". I'm also able to seek without pressing pause first, but the seek bar is invisible. I can do it just by clicking below the slide frame on the player itself.
That image looks like a landscape slide, but where you'd expect to find the seekbar when the tablet is in portrait mode. Can you share a link to this course so that I can take a look as well?

Sorry, I posted my reply to the thread instead of to you. This is version of Storyline I'm on: v3.19.16600.0
We just tested it on a Google Pixel 1 and we see the same functionality. I'm waiting for a coworker's iphone to be free to test and let you know.
Confirming the functionality I described is also showing up on iPhone 7 iOS 10.3.3.

Exactly, which is great! :)
We'll need to have an NDA signed to share it privately with you. Where can I do that?
Thanks
Absolutely Lawrence.
Feel free to reach out to our team here and an NDA can be signed and you can share your course privately with an engineer.
I'd share a link to this thread as well so they can follow along in the conversation :)
Wow! Now I see my confusion, Lawrence. I was thinking the Responsive player not the Modern player. 🤦♀️
In the modern player, you will find the seekbar in the bottom with the play button on the far left and replay at the end of the timeline:
Smartphones
This bottom image shows the Modern player (left) vs. the Responsive Player (right).
As for the settings, you'll need to use that pause to see the seekbar, but I can let the team know you'd like to see it the whole time.
Ok, I understand now. Thanks so much!
No problem, and sorry for my earlier confusion!
