Pausing video doesn't pause timeline
Hello. It's surprising that Articulate hasn't figured out a fix for this. The problem is not so much creating a workaround for it as the default play/pause behavior of the Seekbar, which can't be worked around at all.
Here is a slide with the workaround on it published here - https://360.articulate.com/review/content/2538f196-881b-4781-aa83-97a75849727f/review
Story file attached.
This workaround DOES allow anyone to jump forward or backward in the timeline and resume from that point no problem.
You can also just trigger the video when clicked to pause the timeline and use just one transparent object to resume it if you don't want to use two (one to pause, one to resume).
Issue is that even with this, if users pause the video by clicking on it, and then resume play via the Seekbar, they will then still have to click the video twice to pause it again, if they want to pause it by clicking the video instead of the Pause button on the Seekbar. This is only and issue if the Seekbar is enabled anyway, so may be of no impact to many of you that would need to use this workaround.
