Restricting progress until video is watched
Hi everyone,
I'm designing a course where the client wants the user to watch a video (from Youtube) before being allowed to move on. Is this possible? I've tried inserting as a web object, as a MP...
Hi Ciera,
As I understand the issues you're facing, I believe the MP4 approach is going to give you the greatest chance for success. You have full control of the video that way.
The attached 2 slide mini example has an approx. 4 second long mp4 placed on the first slide with a large, transparent rectangle shape over the top to prevent viewers from clicking the video and stopping it -- and the playhead controller is read-only, preventing them from scrubbing ahead.
The NEXT control also is disabled the first time the first slide is viewed which prevents bypassing the video slide.
When the video completes, a custom "viewedVideo" variable is set to True and the NEXT control is changed to a normal state via triggers. When you backtrack to the first slide, a conditional statement looks to see if "viewedVideo" is True. When it does, the NEXT control is shown in a normal state and users won't be compelled to view the video in full a second time.
Hope this helps!
Bob
Thank you! That worked perfectly!
