We have inserted a video into Storyline from an embed code from Vimeo. Is it possible to track when the video is finished and show a complete button in Storyline or use a Complete trigger. We cannot use the seekbar as we do not know when the user start/pause/close the video - so complete should only be sent, when the web video is finished using Vimeos seekbar.
We have tried using "Complete course as Compleded/Passed - when media completes", but it does not seem to react on media complete?
Does anyone know how to mark a embedded video as complete?
Lauren - Is this simply not doable from a development standpoint on Articulates side? I know there are SO MANY of us who have requested this feature and need the ability to track progress on an external video (Vimeo / Youtube). I would think this would be a #1 priority for your team to implement as e-learning is moving towards more and more video content.
Can you let me know why this function isn't available? Is your team aware of this need? Why has it been YEARS with no progress from your end? I'm not trying to be rude, but just a statement from Articulate saying something like... "This isn't doable because of ____ and ____ and the limitations of SCORM and Vimeo's API not sending ____ through a web object."
I’m happy to shed some more light on tracking embedded videos. Our team has been aware of the requests for this, and while we acknowledge it has been discussed for years now, we're committed to making sure its impact and benefit come first. You can read more about our process here for how we manage feature requests.
I appreciate your need for it and will be sure to add your voice to our report. We don't currently have plans to implement this feature, but we'll keep evaluating it and let you know if those plans change.
Hi, Is there any update on how to track online/embedded video completion in Storyline? I have a client whose videos are hosted in streamming servers (50MB + videos) and we need to add overlay questions in SL on video completion. We urgently need a resolution.
Let me add my voice to the requests for this feature. Our SCORM servers are not set up to handle long streaming videos for our audience of simultaneous thousands, so we need to use external media servers for exactly that use. Because many of our courses are compliance courses, we need to not just let them time out, but we need to know when the video has completed. I am sure we are not alone in this need.
I have resolved the issue by embeddeing HTML page as webobject. In the HTML page I have used JS plugins to capture video completion event and passed on to Storyline. I did it for Vimeo online videos, but the same approach can be applied for YouTube etc.
The embedding of an HTML page as a webobject does work for capturing a video completion event. This is very helpful.
However, what Articulate could do is to add code to capture the video has gotten to, in the event of the learner's pausing mid-way through playback; and then re-starting at that time, upon re-launching. This is especially helpful for long videos--and in our case at least, long videos are why we need to have videos externally hosted in the first place. If a video is short, we are able to host it on our LMS without a problem.

Hi Dorte!
Great question!
Can you track when a user watches an embedded video in Storyline 360?
We don't currently have a built-in feature for tracking progress for embedded videos but there are many workarounds in this discussion!
