Timer Completion for Embedded Video
Hi Marcel,
Thanks for reaching out!
Tracking elapsed time on an embedded video is challenging because the video itself is hosted on a third-party platform, and there is no direct way for Storyline 360 to know how much of the video a learner has seen.
You can instead base the navigation on how much time a learner has already spent on the slide using the built-in Elapsed Time Variables. You can read about them here:
For example, if the required video is 1 minute long, try disabling the navigation of the slide until the 'Slide.ElapsedTime' has reached 60,000 milliseconds (Elapsed time variables report time in milliseconds).
I'll also open up the floor to members of the community in case someone has experience with a better solution!
Hi thank you for the response! That helped a lot. Do you know if there is a way to keep a storyline slide playing even when a user scrolls past it? This method works, unless the user scrolls past the slide to the video and the storyline slide isn't in view. I am worried this could make some users stuck.
