Resume state on a slide that only has a video on it
Hi All
I have a very short course that in essence has a intro slide, a slide with a video that automatically starts with the slide timeline and a closing slide.
I am experiencing an issue with the resume saved state for the slide with the video on it. We want the slide to resume at the point within the video where the person exited - hence the resume saved state. However when you resume it is restarting the video rather than going to the point on the video timeline where they exited the course.
Any ideas on what i might be doing wrong or what else I can try?
Thanks
Leanne

hi Wendy,
I have attached the file.
Hi Nancy,
Thanks for sharing your file. It looks like you included the Zipped output here, and I'd need to take a look at your .story file (the file prior to publishing) to take a look at all your settings. I did upload it to SCORM Cloud as well, but without knowing where the video is, I'm not sure how long to wait. I did listen to the intro audio on the third slide and closed out and was able to resume, so let me know how far I'd have to advance through the course for your videos.

Hi Ashley,
the video is on slide 3. It does start where you left on a slide but we need it to start where it left on a video, is that possible? Every time i resume on the 3rd slide, its the beginning of the video and not where i left off. When you said it listen to and was able to resume? did it resume where you left off on the video or back to the beginning of the 3rd slide?
Thank you.
Thanks for those details, Nancy.
When I tested your course and exited on slide 3, I found that the video replayed from the beginning when I resumed the course. Can you tell me a little more about your set-up?
- What version of Storyline are you using?
- What revisiting behavior setting are you using on slide 3?
- Would you mind sharing the original (unpublished) file with us by clicking here?

Hi Alyssa,
Attached is the file before it is zipped.
We need the 3rd slide to resume where you left off and not just at the beginning of the of 3rd slide.
Thanks so much, Nancy! I consulted with my team on this one, and I got some clarification on the expected resume behavior.
When a learner exits a slide that has a video on it, the default resume behavior is that the slide will reset to the beginning of the video. The only way to save the progress is by going to the next slide.
I know you don't want to force your learners to completely restart the video, so I found a workaround that should help! Take a look at this tutorial by my colleague, Mike Enders.

Brilliant solution Alyssa :-)

I have read through this thread and I am having the same issue. I have tested in my LMS and on the SCORM Cloud. I am using SL360. I need to have the video within my course resume at the point the user exits the training. However, it is restarting. I get the same results in SCORM Cloud too. I have the settings on prompt to resume for the player properties and I have the slide set to resume saved state. Still no luck. I am looking for a resolution other than having to break the video into small snippets and putting it on several slides. Captivate offers the ability to import a video and have it evenly distributed across slides automatically without having to break it into small chunks. Hoping SL360 can offer the same option.
Hello Kim and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
Did you take a look at the solution that Alyssa shared above?

Yes. What I found was that the video still starts over when the user returns to the eLearning. I have the video slide set on Return to Saved State. Any advice on how to get this to work is greatly appreciated.

Hi Kim,
If the learner leaves the course on that particular slide and then resumes to that slide, it will always start at the beginning. The "Resume save state" is used when a learner revisits a slide during the same session to determine if items will be replayed. The only way to save the progress is by going to the next slide.
This is an option by my colleague Mike Enders that may help you!

The option you just sent is the same one I already tried. I am going to assume that what I am trying to do is not possible in storyline 360. I will use captivate for these projects. Thank you.

Hi @Ashley/@Leslie - Any luck with the solution as I was not able to resume to the point where I left the course which has video.
My video is of longer duration (around 45 minutes) with a restricted timeline advancement. But when the learner closes the browser and relaunches the course it goes to the beginning of the video.
I also tried the suggestion posted by Alyssa Gomez (created by Mike Enders) but still the same result.
I am using Articulate Storyline 360 (v3.26.18601.0)
Hi there, Dipendu. In my sample file here, I have a short video on the first slide. The slide properties are "resume saved state." When I jump to the next slide using the Next button in the middle of the video, I can close the browser, reopen and resume the course, and use the Previous button to revisit the video slide. In Chrome 73 and Internet Explorer 11, the video picks up from the middle.
Can you test my link on your end? Let me know what you see!
