Can I change a thumbnail on a video?
Right now it is showing a black screen, is there a way to add a thumbnail image from my video as the cover instead of a black screen?
This is not a solution in every situation, and it's not ideal, but i usually upload videos to Youtube and set them as Unlisted instead of importing them directly into my course.
When embedded they show the custom thumbnail from Youtube.
An added bonus is that the course files will be much smaller, and Youtube videos are quick to launch. The downsides are of course that Youtube does everything it can to get people to watch the next video, and the next and so on.
I also like this option! Hosting them externally has a lot of plus sides like the course file size as you mention. There are a lot of players out there with very nice controls built in that I wouldn't expect Articulate to have to recreate. The main draw backs are the suggested videos or getting your course to be "locked down" until the video has completed. There are solutions out there but not as easy as the built in video block.
Hi John! We started using Mighty Plugin recently and we found out that when there's a Continue Button locked (required to watch and when the video is done, it should unlock) the Continue button is not being unlocked even after completing the video above it. Can you help ASAP?
Yes, we are looking into why this is now and will give you an update once we figure out a good solution!
FYI This is fixed in 4.0.2
