How to create video that can be resumed from the last time when someone exit the course.

For example, my video is 10 minutes long, but when someone closes the learning window at the 6th minute, I want the video to resume from the 6th minute when the person starts the course again. Pleas...

Hello Preesh!

Thank you for sharing your file! It looks like you have an embedded video on the slide and I'm assuming that you'd like the embedded video to pick up in the same spot when the user revisits that slide. Embedded videos, different from imported mp4 videos, can't be controlled by the timeline in Storyline 360 so it is tricky for the Storyline to know where to resume the video. 

I'm hoping someone in the community has a workaround that would help you resume an embedded video! If you're looking to import an mp4, let me know and I'll be happy to help!

Also the video I have added in the slide is not Embedded one, this mp4 video added from the content library 360. I have used the "Resume save status" under slide setting and "prompt to resume option" under player setting. Still it is not resuming. Am I making any mistake. 
Please guide me. Thank you very much for your kind support and guidance.

    Hi Preetesh!

    I'm happy to help with the video that you've added from the Content Library! I created something similar in Storyline 360 and found that adding a "Save" button did the trick for me. I've created a quick tutorial explaining how I created it and tested it. Here's the tutorial link.

    Please let me know if you have any follow up questions!
