Can I keep the play/pause buttons on the video without allowing people to fast forward?
Hello,
I am wanting to allow a video to be paused, however i do not want people to have the capability to just fast forward to the end without watching the video content. Is this possible?
Thankyou

Abi,
You could change the state of the next button to hidden when the timeline starts on the slide. Create another trigger that changes the next button state to Normal when the video ends.
By default, you can pause a video by simply clicking it. Many times, people add a transparent rectangle over a video to keep someone from doing this. In your case, it works to your advantage.
See attached .story example.
The next arrow shows in the bottom right corner of the player when the video completes and their is no way for the user to fast forward as the seekbar is hidden on the slide.

Hello Abi!
Choosing "Show Video Controls" will add a Play/Pause button and seek bar. Here's a screenshot. There isn't a way to separate this.
You could control this using custom Play/Pause buttons. I've added a sample .story file with this setup.
Abi,
As an alternative, you can turn on the video controls as Lauren suggests and then draw a transparent rectangle over the video seekbar, being sure not to overlap the play/pause control on the left. This will block any interaction with the seekbar (however, if the user tabs to the seekbar, arrow keys could still control it).
Any news about this topic?
