Using Storyline 360: Resuming an embedded video when the user left off

Hi, I was hoping to find a solution to this issue as I'm having the same trouble. I have a video that reverts back to the beginning when a learner exits. I'm using Storyline 360 and I've set the slide properties to "resume saved state", but it doesn't.  Ideas?

You're right, Lauren, I had forgotten that step. However, I changed the player properties and re-published, but it didn't fix it. True, it doesn't ask me if I want to resume now, but it still starts the video in slide 1 at the beginning every time. :(

Hi Mary!

Thanks for providing an update! It would be helpful if I could take a look at your project to determine the culprit. Do you mind uploading the .story file to me? Here's an upload link.

Hi Team

I have set my Storyline 360 slide to 'resume saved data' and my player settings is set to 'Prompt to resume'. I also tried 'Always resume' but that did not work. Could you please let me know what I could have missed? I am happy to send the files via a secure link if needed?

Best Regards

Ronny

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.

It looks like your email signature came through when you replied via email. You can remove that if needed by clicking ‘Edit’ beneath your response. Here’s a quick Peek video if you need help.

This option isn't working for me - it doesn't resume where left off, unless I have properties set to Resume Saved State on slide with video, which isn't much good since that will not allow learner to Replay the video after completion from the Seekbar.

Hi Jeffrey,
