The publish-to-video option in Storyline is an awesome feature! But I'm wondering - is it possible to publish to video and NOT have a seekbar in the final mp4? Video files would be so much easier to launch and view when we have to use our courses offline, but if there's a seekbar, learners can just skip ahead to the end instead of viewing the whole video. (Note - I'm NOT talking about videos inserted into individual slides, I'm referring to the whole video of the published class, which doesn't have any embedded videos.)
Ah, I figured that'd be the case, but wanted to ask in case there was a way... Some learners will view the whole thing and some will just bypass whatever they can get away with!
I'm still pondering this question - is it possible to embed something in the metadata of an mp4 to prevent the user from skipping ahead on the seekbar or fastforwarding through the video? (Here I mean a video that's being viewed offline, not on a website.)

The video is played using the video player on your machine or in your browser that will have a seeker you cannot suppress that from within the video.
As you view them offline there is going to be no way to do this.

Thanks!
