Hi Nina,
I see you're the original creator of this conversation some years ago, so let's see if I can clarify the expectations and behavior.
If you're still in your project and using the slide property setting when revisiting to:
- Resume saved state, the correct behavior would be:
- If the video was fully played, it would not restart when returning to a slide.
- If it was partially played, the video would resume from where it had stopped when the user left the slide.
- Automatically decide, Storyline looks at the items on the slide and determines whether or not to resume.
- Reset to Initial state, the video will be set to start from the beginning as the rest of the slide will.
If you exit the course entirely, Storyline will return to the slide you left off at, and resume from the beginning of that slide.
If you're exiting the course, you can create an exit slide to hold the resume behavior on the video slide. Here's a quick gif example, link to published output, and I've attached my sample project.
