Triggering video with hotspot

Hello!

I have created a hotspot over a tv knob and would like users to "turn" it on (by clicking the hotspot). I have embedded the video code and see it on the timeline and set up my trigger: Play video ONLINE VIDEO 1 when the user clicks HOTSPOT 1.

Alas...when I preview it, nothing happens. Insights?

    Thank you for reaching out!

    Since the web object is outside of Storyline's control, the trigger to play the video will not work. An alternative would be to add the video to a layer, then use the hotspot to open that layer:

    I hope this helps!
