Video open in a new window

Hi Chris,

Are you inserting the video directly into your Storyline course, or having it as a web object or similar? 

Could you create another button that would either:

• Link to a copy of the video on a website - so that it's set to open in a new window
  
  OR
• Link to a slide that has a duplicate copy of the video set to launch in a new window?  You can control that from the video properties. 

Hope that helps! 

The video is not a link it is directly in SL.

I link to a slide that has a copy of the viedo and changed the properties.

The problem is the property open in new window starts the video just by clicking the user.

any idea?

i can show a video in a new slide or a new webbrowser. any chances for open in a new tab?

best chris

Hi Chris,

Opening the video in a new tab or window is a setting that is browser and user specific. You may want to instruct your users to open it in a new tab by clicking the link and using the CTRL key (or Command key on a Mac).
