Prevent fast forward: video
Is there a solution to prevent a user from fast forwarding through a video? I have a course with about 8 short 2-3 minute videos that I need the user to view the entire video, without being able to ...
Hi Terri,
I have found a solution to this issue. I created a transparent rectangle and placed it over the player bar (and made sure it was the first layer on the timeline). When the user clicks the player bar, they're really clicking the rectangle, which prevents them from fast forwarding. I didn't move the rectangle over the play/pause, so they can still pause the video.
I also added a trigger to the Next button so that they can't advance until the media completes. I have a popup box come up which says "you must watch the entire video to complete" and the media pauses. When they close out of the popup box, the media restarts.
Hope this helps!
