Seekbar - can I have it appear on specific slides | not all slides

Are you talking about the gear icon in the Player? If so my options are Browser Settings, Resume and Text is Read From. I see no option to customize the seek bar. Can you be more specific? Thanks!

Hi Anne,

Take a look at these 2 screen shots from Story View. You'll see that one slide has the seekbar turned on, and the other has it turned off. Clear the gear icon and change to custom for selected slides. If it doesn't make sense, shout out!

NP. That's why we're a community, eh? (or, to misquote Hillary Clinton, "it takes a community").

Hope all is well.

I am loving the new conditional seekbar, but I am just wondering if there is any way to have one video with a seekbar that is restricted to first time must watch and another that is free. I have set the default player to the restricted where they can use the seekbar after the first viewing, but I have some videos that are not "required". They can are to help learners pinpoint their errors. I have tried the slide player option but it only has a check mark or uncheck mark the seekbar. 

Amy, I'm happy to hear that you're loving the conditional seekbar! I agree it's a perfect addition!

 Right now, the properties of the conditional seekbar are set for the entire course. As a workaround, you could use branching to jump to slides with media that the user wants to view.

If anyone has workarounds for a similar scenario, don't hesitate to share in this discussion! 

That's what I'm doing. The user only chooses to go to those videos but what I would like is if they only need to see a small part of that video for them to be able to then skip to the section they need. I have 6 videos in this storyline and the first two they must watch. The last six I wanted them to be able to just skip to the exact point in the video that they needed. On the last ones they are basically they're putting what they learned in practice so I want them to only have to see what they need in the video. So I wanted those videos to just be a quick reference for them. each of those videos is only about a minute in length but it would still be nice if they could find what they needed to find. I teach in a k-12 school and so think of it as basically the first two videos are a lesson then they put it in practice (in accounting)  and the last four videos each one is the solution for a different problem. So I wanted them to be able to just jump to the part of the solution they were struggling with and be able to watch it.

Hello Amy!

I understand exactly what you're looking for. I appreciate you explaining this as well!

It's clear where this feature would be a great addition to your project and I'm happy to report that we are still documenting feature requests for the conditional seekbar to be edited on a slide by slide basis rather than for the entire project. 

I'll go ahead and add your comments to our active report! If there is additional information that you would like me to add, feel free to reply to this discussion!

I truly hope this will be fixed. The seekbar isn't something anyone would want on every slide. It is for animations or video so having extra controls on the seekbar is essential to ensuring the enduser can follow the information instead of just skip everything and fail on the post test. Please fix this. I did follow tips to add the seekbar just to the video slide but would really like to have the control set at play without dragging until it was completed. 

Thanks so much, A-Team!

I am currently in this conversation because I just published a course that had 9 videos which were all custom slides and the seekbar and menu need to be used by our course reviewers in the AR360 review when they compare to the LMS published course. it's not only time consuming to change back and forth, but easy for human error to miss one.

Hi Cheryl,

I appreciate you taking the time to share what you’d like to see in Storyline 360 and how this feature would benefit your team. We're currently tracking this request, so I’ll go ahead and include your voice. We’ll update this discussion if this feature makes it on our feature roadmap!
