Vimeo in Storyline 360

Hi Melissa,

When you insert the video into Storyline do you have access to the Vimeo video controls? I wasn't sure what you were looking to change for the second time around - as the user should have access to those throughout.

If you're advancing the slide with the media completes or the timeline ends, there isn't a setting to change how the slide advances on a second attempt. 

I hope someone in the community can share their expertise here! 

Thank you, Ashley!

There's probably a really clever way of doing this using the Vimeo Javascript API and Storyline's Javascript dialogue, but I would propose a simpler method:

• Upload the video to Vimeo twice
• Have one version with controls and one without.
• Put each video on its own layer within the same slide.
• Use variables to determine whether the person has visited the slide before and show the control-less version on first visit and the control-ful version on subsequent visits.

To determine whether the person has visited the slide before, I'd use a true/false (Boolean) variable. Let's call it varSeenVideo01. It has a default value of false.

The video without controls is on Layer 1 and the video with controls is on Layer 2.

When the slide loads, it checks the value of varSeenVideo01. If it's false it shows Layer 1; if it's true it loads Layer 2.

When Layer 1 loads, it changes varSeenVideo01 to be true. That way, subsequent visits will cause Layer 2 to load.
