making a video repeat

Hi. I embedded a video from the Articulate library into a Storyline slide. Works fine, but it only runs 15 seconds, and the slide narration lasts 45 seconds. So, to make it fit I simply put in the same video three times---it runs serially from one instance to the next. 

But I would assume there is a feature to simply make that video repeat twice. Is there is trick that lets me make it repeat (rather than embedding it multiple times)?

    Yeah Michael, as Kendal correctly linked, all you need to do is set up a trigger that says:

    Play Media "Video Name" when Media Completes "Video Name"

    That will endlessly repeat your Video as long as your slide lasts - which sounds like that might be enough for you.

    If however, you want it to loop a specific number of times, then you'll need to add a Numeric Variable and a condition on that trigger. That way you can loop it a certain number of times.
