How do you turn off the text for keyboard shortcuts in the player?
Very recently, text descriptions are appearing above buttons on the player. Every time you mouse goes over the Next button, a text box appears with Next (Ctrl+Alt+.)
How do I disable this? I published a course on 12/7 and it doesn't have this setting. I downloaded the new 64 bit version and I've gone through every setting I can think of in the player to disable this but haven't found it yet.
Hi David,
I see that you have reached out to our Support Engineers and are working with my teammate, John Carlo! You’re in great hands. We’ll continue the conversation in your support case.
Hope that you are having a great holiday season! 🎉
Hi David - did you ever get a solution for the ALT text?
Hi Zena,
Happy to help!
There currently isn't an option to disable the Player tooltips. These were added to meet WCAG accessibility criteria and there isn't a built-in way to hide them from learners. If you would like to remove the Player tooltips, you can use any of the following workarounds:
- Downgrade your installation to a version released before November 2023
- Use the Javascript solution shared by a community member here
I'll add your voice to an open feature request that we have for the addition of an option to disable the tooltips. We'll let you know as soon as it makes it to our product roadmap!
Thank you! I used the Javascript solution and it worked perfectly.
Wonderful news! Thanks for letting us know, Zena.
Feel free to reach out in the future with any questions or discoveries!
Have a great start to your week and happy authoring!
