seekbar in read only mode - for selected slides. Am I missing something?

Hey Dario,

You can make the seekbar draggable or read-only through the Player Properties > Features, see image attached.

So, tick on the seekbar in the Player Properties, and then untick it on individual slides where you don't need it.

The only thing is that the read-only option is done via the player and applies to the whole project, so if you need some slides to be seek bar read only and other to be draggable seekbar, then that won't work (I don't believe you can make some slides read only and other draggable). But what you can do at the slide level is turn the actual seekbar on or off.

Hope this helps!

Dario,

I think that what you want you cannot do, except the way you do not want to do it.  :(

Is there a way to have the seekbar change from read-only to free after the learner has watched the slide initially for the first time going through but then if they would like to come back and revisit certain content so activities I have set so you have to wait for the timeline to reach a certain point before a layer can be viewed and I would like if my learners were able to come back to review the content but not have to wait on each slide? When I have automatically remember state on slide revisit then it wont let the learner listen to the audio or be able to scroll back to the beginning? Any thoughts on this would be extremely helpful.

Hi Nikki,

Thanks for reaching out. The seekbars status can't be reset based on a users' interaction and completion of the slide, as it's a setting controlled by the player, not a course variable that could be adjusted.

If this is something you'd like to see, please share your thoughts as a feature request to our product team!
