Hi Benjamin, you can use the Storyline player API to set a variable.

Firstly, define your boolean variable in Storyline that will change to TRUE once the video is complete, for example "videoComplete"

Within your WebObject you would do something like this.

player.on('ended', function () {
    // Get a reference to the Storyline player
    const slPlayer = window.parent.GetPlayer();
    // User the SetVar method to set the Storyline defined
    // variable. Note: You can also use GetVar to get the
    // value of a variable from Storyline
    slPlayer.SetVar("videoComplete", true);
});
