Lightboxes vs Layers
Can someone explain to me why I would opt to use a lightbox instead of a layer?
Hi! Do you know if there is a way to prevent a video on the main slide from pausing when opening a lightbox?
Hello Lilian_bvr! By default, a video will automatically pause when a Lightbox slide appears. If you'd like the video to continue playing, you might consider adding the content on a Lightbox slide to a Layer.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions!
Hello! I know that most people prefer using layers instead o lightbox, but for what I'm trying to achieve it's the best choice. Because the lightbox here acts as a notebook that can ve viewed at anytime during the course, meaning that if we were using layers we would have to have these layers on each and every slides, making our project difficult to work with or modify.
However I have found a workaround to play the video on the mainslide as soon as the lightbox opens, I do so using variables.
