I recently saw a published Storyline course that included copyright information within the Player under the left navigation sidebar. Does anyone know how this can be done?
NOTE: I looked at the actual Storyline source file and did not see it as part of the Player properties.
It could have been a custom player set up, so if you're able to share a link to the course or an image of it, we may be able to pinpoint what they did.
Since I cannot share the course (NDA) -- I can only show you this doctored up screenshot of the Player.
See attached file. I've blanked out a lot -- but you can see how the logo, copyright, for educational purposes line is included at the bottom of the Player. I'm thinking that this needs to be done via the SDK ( which I'm not going to do.) But ... I wanted confirmation from this community that there isn't an "easy" way to do this in Storyline that I've missed.
Here are directions on how to make a "chromeless" player - this would take out all elements such as the sidebar, next/prev buttons, etc. and allow you customize all that and set it up on a slide master that could be applied to every slide. So you'd have to set up the navigation in addition to the copyright info - and it would be a lot to set up, but then fully customized without having SDK/Flash coding skills. :-)

Can you show a picture of what you mean? Or link to that specific storyline file?

Hi Jacqueline,
I'm also going to guess it was built with the SDK as there isn't an option to include the player logo at the bottom as shown there.
If you want to remove the player elements entirely, you could set that up on a master slide.
Yeah, I thought it was probably done via the SDK -- and since I'm not a software developer I don't want to go there.
What do you mean by removing player elements entirely using master slide?
