Screencast Video Is Fully Clickable – Need to Restrict Interaction to Specific Area
I’ve inserted a screen recording as a video on a single slide in Storyline 360, with mouse movements removed. The video is meant to have just one interaction: the learner clicks a specific area to tr...
I'd overlaying a shape with 1% opacity, then placing the hotspot on top of that shape.
As Chris said, you can cover the video with a shape that has a solid fill set to 100 transparency. Then add a trigger to the hotspot that changes the state of the shape to Hidden when the hotspot is clicked. Be sure that trigger comes before the trigger that jumps to the next slide. (Storyline can't run a trigger if it's already left the slide.)
Note, though, that this only prevents the user from clicking the video with a mouse. It doesn't prevent them from accessing it with their keyboard.
If you want to prevent keyboard access, too, you could do this:
- Keep the video on the base.
- Add a new layer, and put the hotspot on that.
- Set the Slide Layer Properties to prevent interacting with the base.
- Add a trigger on the base that shows the layer when the timeline starts on the slide.
