Video Controls for Embedded Synthesia Video
Hello community,
I'm utilizing Synthesia to create some training videos. I normally download the completed videos and insert them into Articulate Storyline. I am aiming to change this process for the case that there are multiple video update requests, outdated content, etc.
So I am trying to take advantage of the embed code, so that whenever I make an update in Synthesia and publish - it will automatically push that update to wherever the Articulate Training is stored.
The issue I am running into are the Video Controls. With the embed code there doesn't seem to be a way to disable the video controls so that I can utilize Articulates for, play, pause and to turn off seeking.
Has anybody encountered this or have a solution? Thank you so much for any time and advice!

I looked at their Knowledge Base and it doesnt look like it is possible to disable the player
Yeah that's what I was kind of concerned about. I searched their KBA's as well and didn't see anything. I may also reach out to our company rep. I just wanted to see if there was something on the Articulate side as well.
Can you share the embed code that is generated? I've never seen a Synthesia embed code so I am curious - in YouTube there's an option to remove the player controls which inserts ;controls=0 immediately after the URL inside the embed code. No idea if the Synthesia embed code would work the same but maybe worth trying.
I replied with the embed code. I appreciate the reply and looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
