'Continue' block completion with embedded video

Quick question...does the embed video block have a "memory"? Meaning, if I have watched the video during testing in the player (in this case Stream), does the course remember that I already watched it? I ask because when I preview the block with the continue button added, it appears as I want it to, but once I export and load into LMS for testing, the continue block is activated even though I have not hit play on the embedded video.

Hi Laurianne,

As mentioned earlier in this thread, a CONTINUE button cannot be used to ensure viewing of an embedded video.

    Thanks Karl!

    I was just a bit confused because the User Guide, called out by Articulate Staffer Crystal Horn above, lists video blocks working with the continue button, but doesn't make a distinction that embedded videos won't work. Typically, Articulate is pretty good about calling out specific restrictions like this, so I wanted to double check that it wasn't a setting I was missing or user error, etc.

    Side note, what a shame! Using embed links keeps the SCORM file size lower :( which helps with uploading in LMS...
