Thanks, Tobi. I appreciate you clarifying what you would like to see.

To control the triggers, playback, and navigation ability, I'd recommend adding a video from a file. This will allow you to sync your video timeline to your slide timeline and control the environment for your learner.

By embedding the video, you are limited:

  1. You can trigger an action based on an estimated timeline length of the video. For instance, if your video is 5 min long, set the timeline for 5 min.
  2. The video I used in my example is set to play automatically, but the Vimeo embed code does not allow this.
  3. You can hide/disable the next button until the timeline ends but again will require the estimate from #1 above.
