Course pauses when user minimizes window
Hi Rasmus,
The slide timeline will pause if the learner navigates to a new browser tab or minimizes the browser window. We designed Storyline to work this way since people don't want courses to continue to play in the background while learners are browsing other websites. However, there are two sides to this coin, and it sounds like you'd prefer it to work the opposite way!
Does your learning management system have a feature that will "lock" the browser, meaning it won't allow learners to minimize the window or browse to other sites?
Hi Alyssa,
I understand that Storyline is built to pause the timeline if the learner navigates away from the browser window however if there is media (audio, video, etc.) in the timeline it continues to play which is throwing the slide timeline and my voiceover/videos out of sync. Is there a way to keep the media in sync with the timeline meaning when the timeline pauses the media pauses?
I am guessing the solution will be a trigger although I am not totally sure what that trigger would be.
