Play/Pause on Layers

Hi!

I am having an issue and was hoping someone had a solution. I have a SL slide with multiple layers. Each layer has audio. I have play/pause set in my player but when I review the project the play/pause does not work on my layers. Does anyone know of a solution or workaround for this? 

Thank you

    Hello! I've got the same problem, and I'm running the latest version of Storyline. 

    Just wanted to check in on the status of the bug report above. Is there any ETA on a fix?

      Hi jennwilsonpmp,

      Thanks for reaching out!

      The bug my teammate, Luciana, referenced is still being tracked. One workaround that you can try in the meantime is to create custom navigation for your project using True/False variables. If you'd like help with this, please feel free to share your file with our team in a support case so we can take a look!

  • Hi Katherine! 

    I'm so sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue. I understand how frustrating this can be.

    We're currently tracking an issue where the Player's Play/Pause button is unable to pause the timeline of slide layers. Essentially, the Play/Pause in the Player can only pause the timeline of objects that have been placed on the base layer.

    In the meantime, I'd like to share the workaround my colleague Joe shared with another user who ran into this issue. I hope this is helpful!

    I've added this thread to the bug report so we can notify you as soon as a fix is released. 

    If any other questions come up, please let us know!

  • Hello Jennifer,

    Can you confirm that the "Allow Seeking" option on your layer properties is set to "Yes"?
