I have a video on a slide. When I run the course the video plays just fine and the seek-bar runs also. I have video controls turned off. When I click on the video itself however it stops. The seek-bar keeps rolling. If I use the seek-bar controls the video stops as I would suspect. How can I turn off the ability of a user to click on the video and stop it?
Hey thanks Judy! Thanks for responding. I just chatted with a team member and they suggested the same thing. It works great! This seams like a bug? I would assume if we set "Show Video Controls" to "None" that this should shut off any interaction with the video itself?
Well, one person's bug can be another person's feature. Many videos on the web can be paused and restarted via clicking the video area, which could be helpful on mobile device where controls are so small.

Hi, Russ,
Cover the video with a rectangle that has a solid fill set to 100% transparency. That will prevent users from clicking the video.
