Curious About Play/Pause Functionality

Hello Community,

i am just curious to know if i can trigger play/ pause without using any variable.

Note: i am using Storyline360 and html5 format

Hi Paramjot.

It is definitely possible. Storyline has triggers that allow you to "Pause media..." and to "Play media..." based on certain activities or parameters.

What I usually do is to place a 100% transparent object on top of the video (same size as the video) that has a trigger on it to "Pause timeline" when the user clicks on the object. You can then either do a state change of this object, or call a different layer (maybe called Paused) that will "Resume timeline..." again when the user clicks that object again.
