Remove play button first slide

How can I remove the play button the first (title) slide? No video or audio on this slide, just a .jpg graphic. Video on slide 6 but play/pause is disabled on all slides. Modern layout. Using desktop, Microsoft Edge. I created a dummy slide at the beginning to jump right to my title slide, but play button is still appearing. I have Storyline updates up-to-date.

I have attached only the first 3 slides of my project and removed the .jpg graphics but you can still see play button on slide 1. What am I missing?

  • Hi! 

    It looks like you have the player features set to "Custom for the selected slides". If you click on the gear icon on the bottom right, the slide properties dialogue box will pop up. You can change the setting to "Player defaults" and it will remove the play button on the first slide.

  • If you want the slide to move to the next slide at the end of the play head, just go into the Slide Properties in the lower right corner and unclick the Next button and change the Slide Advances to Automatic.

    I don't want that to be automatic - I want staff to select 'next' when they're ready to start. The issue is the play button at the left that's appearing, which I don't want to see.

      Go to the Home tab of the Ribbon, click Player, and in the Player Properties dialog scroll down to Player Controls and unselec Play/Pause. Of course, that turns it off for all slides ....

        It's already turned off (unclicked) on all slides.
