Storyline Seek Player plays even with no audio Oct 08, 2014 By Darren McNeill Hi, I have several slides that require user interaction and no audio is required. I try to set the timeline to 1 second max as timelines are not relevant for these slides. However, on previewing, the Seek bar always plays through for 5 seconds. This causes some confusion to users as they think there is audio playing. Is there a way to stop the Seek bar from advancing, if the timeline is set to 1 second or less? I do notice sometimes that the timeline in the slides resets to 3 seconds.

Emily Ruby over 9 years ago10/08/14 at 9:29 am (UTC) Hello Darren! I tested this in a file and the seekbar did only play for one second. Is there a file you could share for us to look at? Also please make sure you are working locally to avoid any erratic behavior in Storyline.
