Storyline player seek bar

Hi All,

I have a query regarding the Seek bar of Storyline player. If we record or create software simulations through hotspots on screenshots, the simulation divides in multiple slides. My concern is that every slides has its own seek bar. It looks very odd when user clicks on any hotspot and seek bar play on each click.

Is there anyway that we can keep a single seek bar for whole project or at least for a  scene (with multiple slides)?

  • Hi Nitesh, 

    I'm not clear on how you've added a slider to your screen recordings? Click-and-drag events—such as dragging a scroll bar—aren't interactive in step-by-step screen recordings.

    However, other actions—like clicking and typing—are interactive, so you'll be able to test learners on these actions.

    The screen recording will turn all the clicks and typing into their individual slide elements, so that is why you may see something over a number of slides and you could look at manually adjusting the slides or removing those that are extraneous.

    I think I know what you are talking about.  You would like to place a slider on multiple slides, but have them all be "one" slide.  There is a way.  Just point them all to the same variable. They should all move to the same step from the previous slide.

    I think Nitesh may be referring to the player seek bar located in the Player interface.

    Yes Brian, I am referring to the player seek bar. is there any way to create a single seek bar for the whole scene?

  • Hi Nitesh,

    No way to create the player seekbar to account for the entire scene or course - it's on a slide by slide basis. It may be something you're able to do with the Storyline SDK, but that's not something that we can offer support for. 

  • Hello, 

    I came across this discussion as I was looking for the answer to this same question. I wanted to have a seek bar for an entire scene instead of a separate seek bar per slide.  Since this discussion was 6 years, I wanted to check if there's any update on whether this is possible. Thanks!

      Oddly enough I don't think a solution for this has been added within the past 6 years, but maybe someone will join the conversation here and help with a solution. Good luck!

      Hello Jaclyn, 

      We still haven't changed how the seekbar behaves in Storyline 360. I’ll be happy to pass your thoughts on to our product team, but you can also feel free to detail them more through a feature request
