Storyline 2 - Disable Video Download With Video Controls Bar Appearing

Jan 12, 2018

Hi all,

I am new to Storyline 2 and I would like to ask if this case can be fixed?

I want learners to control the pace of learning so they can use the video controls bar to: adjust timing and adjust volume. However, when the storyline file is published, the download button appear.

I read through this discussion forum and find a similar solution is to remove the video controls bar and add the seekbar in this slide so learner can still adjust timing. However, learner can no longer adjust volume anymore which it is not what I want.

Please help.

Thanks and best regards,

Jason

Hi Lun!

Google Chrome versions 55 and later let you download videos from published courses when these conditions are true:

  • You enabled Show Video Controls.
  • You're viewing HTML5 output.

You'll see a download arrow on the right end of the video control bar in Google Chrome.

If you don't want learners to download videos from your courses, you'll need to disable the video controls in Storyline or Studio before publishing. (If you've enabled the seekbar for your course, learners will still be able to pause, fast forward, and rewind videos.)

Since you want learners to be able to adjust the volume, try enabling the volume control button in the player.
