Pausing video doesn't pause timeline
Hi Camille!
I'm happy to help! Since the slide timeline and the video timeline are different, I'd recommend using a transparent shape to control both the slide and video timeline.
I've created a sample project for you where I've added a transparent rectangle that is hidden when the video is playing and set to normal when the video is paused. Please take a look at the .story file and let me know what you think!
Hi Lauren,
Thanks very much, this seems to work fine for play/pause but I also need to have the seekbar displayed below the video to allow users to go back or fast forward to a time of the video. And this transparent shape wouldn't help if the user goes back/forward, the timeline would be unsynched with the video.
Hello Lauren,
Is there a way to solve my issue? Please see my previous message unanswered: "this seems to work fine for play/pause but I also need to have the seekbar displayed below the video to allow users to go back or fast forward to a time of the video.

Thanks in advance!
Hi Camille!
The example I shared would be a workaround for the play/pause but wouldn't help if the user wanted to jump forward or backward. Currently, there isn't a trigger to jump to a specific point in a video. The jump to time trigger is only for the slide timeline.
