Best Practices for Storyline Player Controls

I always include the Play/Pause option - in today's world, you've got to have the option to pause. Life, including the workday is full of interruptions. I also add volume, captions and have recently begun including playback speed. 

Navigating and advancing slides differs for each course I create, so sometimes the learners get the autonomy of the next icon and sometimes they've just got to wait for the end of the slide. 

I was excited to use the full screen option, but it does not work in our LMS unfortunately. 

I did go through a phase where I was turning off all player controls and creating my own buttons within the slides themselves, with shapes or images and triggers. That was fun for flexing my creative muscles, but I tapered off, because I preferred going back to the player controls for learner familiarity and ease of use. 

It is interesting reading everyone's different preferences - and whys. And even on my own team of 3 IDs, we each have different preferences and thankfully not a mandate for standardization on that from leadership.
