Hi. A client has come back to me to note that the replay button on the right side of the seekbar doesn't work. I've checked it on both the Flash and HTML5 versions. I also can't find any triggers that specify the replay button, when pushed, should replay the audio for the slide. Can you help?

This seems to be a feature/issue that should be resolved in the software and not addressed by workarounds. It's a Rewind button. It should work like a Rewind button found in any other UI learners and developers are accustomed to interacting with. Maybe it's matter of making this the normal behavior as a default and adding controls to allow a developer to alter if necessary but not required to create familiar, and well designed from a usability standpoint, learning experiences. Additionally, I would highly suggest the seek bar and rewind button be unlinked in terms of showing or not showing controls. Although related functions, these should be available independent of each other in the controls.

I add my vote here. A rewind button should rewind no matter how the slide is designed. You click, it goes back to the beginning. No thinking should be necessary. For the learners, it just looks like an annoying bug forcing you to drag the seekbar manually. Please, do something to fix that.

Add my vote to this as well. This comes up for us a lot, and it's not easy for us to handle. Our users want it to rewind, or start the slide over. Sometimes it works they way they desire, sometimes it doesn't...that's frustrating for everyone. We need to be able to have separate control over the "when revisiting" and the function of the replay button. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm with Jason and Jessica and dealing with this issue now as well. The rewind/replay button should be independent of BOTH the seekbar and the "when revisiting" setting. This causes some significant workaround needs.

I too would like a replay button independent from the seek bar and matching the Previous-Next buttons :)

Can we customize the replay button - instead of the icon can it be a text reading "Replay"?

That looks great, but when i do Home > PLayer > Control i do not seem to have this option (SL3, Aug 2018). What did i do to miss that ? or is this a different version ?

You are correct Philippe, I apologize if I created additional confusion.

The Play/Pause button is a part of the Seekbar for Storyline 3:

Hi all, I would like to add my request that the replay button should work independently of the "when revisiting" setting!

This has actually just come up in a project today, and my team will now have to add triggers to make it work as we need it to.

This is BEYOND annoying... I have a current project that needs to resume saved state but they would like to be able to "REPLAY" the slide. I can't believe I'm just realizing this doesn't work as one would think. Angry clients make for an angry developer... please set the replay button to work as a typical replay button would and should... it should not be associated with the seekbar.

Hey Deb,

Thanks for reaching out, Deb. I'd be sure to enable the video controls below your video so that the client will be able to pause, rewind, and fast forward as needed.

Here is some documentation.

  Leslie,
  
  Thanks for your response. I didn't use the video controls initially because the client does not want to allow a user to fast forward the video. The seekbar can be controlled - but I don't see an option to do the same with the video controls.
  
  If there is a way to use these controls to pause and replay, but remove the ability to fast forward please share it with me. This is what I need to accomplish.
  
  Thanks,
  
  Deb

Hey, Deb! Thanks for letting us know what you'd like to see! I'll let our team know you have a need for video controls with a read-only seekbar.

If there's anything else I can help with in the meantime, please let me know!

Ditto to all those voting for a separate replay/ rewind button acting independently.

I'm working with an audio file that should be able to be replayed. Is there any way around this? I need users to be able to select replay to hear a question again and then interact with the slide. If there is no seekbar, how would a hearing impaired individual know that the audio is still playing and that the slide isn't frozen?

Hi Amy!

Can you enable the seekbar in the player? This would give learners the opportunity to replay the audio, and individuals with hearing impairments would know how much audio remains on the slide.
