Video Completion
Is there a way to restrict a Rise lesson to ensure the users finish (or at least click to start) watching a video before they are allowed to continue to the next lesson?
Right now, as soon as a learner clicks on the lesson with the video, it displays complete without the learner clicking play to view the media.

April - Continue Blocks are the answer. Check them out.
Thanks! I knew I was missing something...this should solve it!
This doesn't seem to work. I have an embedded video (Multimedia, Embed), followed by a CONTINUE block, but as soon as the lesson starts the CONTINUE button displays even though the video hasn't even been started. And when I display the menu, the lesson shows as already completed as soon as the lesson is started. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Adam,
The issue with Continue blocks is, once you have set the video to not allow seeking, learners which return to the content have no option to seek when reviewing the video content.
Which means they have to watch the content in full rather than skipping to the section they need within a 10 or 15 minute system tutorial.I recently built a Storyline object for completing a Vimeo video after watching a percentage of the content, releasing the continue block.
Any way to ensure the entire video is viewed and not just started prior to the continue becoming available?
Hey Angel! We're working on a feature right now that will prevent forward seeking on videos. Hang tight, it's coming soon!
Hi Alyssa, has this feature been released yet? If so, how would I go about using it?
Is there any update on this feature? It is something that I really need. Thanks!
Hi Michelle,
What feature are you referring to? If you're just looking to make sure learners view a video before they move on, then yes, that's possible.
Just set your video to disable seeking and add a Continue button below it. Then, change the continue block settings to "complete block directly above" (see tutorial). You'll also want to make sure to set your course navigation to restricted so learners can't bypass the video that way.
If that's not the feature you're referring to, let me know and we'll go from there.
Hi, any word on this?
Using a media block, click "Edit" and then choose "Settings". In the "Seeking" section on the bottom right, you can uncheck the box to disable forward seeking of the video.
Hi,
Thanks for the update. I hope that you can help me - I have been asked to create a quiz which is only active once the accompanying video has been watched. How is the best way to do this using the Continue block feature within Rise. Alternatively, am I best using Storyline to create this by making a NEXT button or GO TO QUIZ button visible once the video clip has elapsed?
Thanks
Andrew
Hey Andrew! I think you're headed in the right direction. You can set your video to disable seeking, and then add a Continue button right beneath. Make sure your continue button requires the block above to be complete. Add restricted navigation and you're all set!
Check out what this would look like to a learner here.
Super helpful! Thank you! I haven't found a way to add an "exit" after the quiz - is this possible?
Thanks Crystal. Will give this a go.
Forward seeking works for videos you upload but not for embed links from YouTube, for example; is that correct? I'm not seeing the Continue option working for these.
Thanks.
Hi Cheryl,
Correct - that option to disable forward seeking is only available for videos you've imported directly into Rise. Can you download these videos from YouTube? That way you can upload into Rise and enable that feature.
Hi Cheryl,
Is there any way to stop the rise video at the end, instead of going back to the first frame...?
Forward seeking works for videos you upload but not for embed links from vinemo, youtube, etc...Is there a way to capture the event from the embed video upon completion of the video...so that the Continue block can be used?...using block settings to "complete block directly above"...this way the video has to be viewed before it is considered 100% completed. The feature that has been added is great for a video that is imported directly into RISE...but I am really looking for a way to embed the video and somehow know that video completed through some event that is thrown back to RISE...so that the block Continue option can be utilized in the same manner etc.
Hi, I would definitely also appreciate this feature - to be able to prevent continuation until the learner has viewed an embedded video. Any thoughts on this? Thanks.
