I intend to upload videos (not embed) in courses created by Rise, is there any where to disable the seek bar so that users cannot fast-forward/ drag the progress bar. The intention is to ensure that they view the full video from start to finish
I have a similar experience with Tom Warburton, we have disabled the forward seeking for videos, however, when a learner views the video content on an iPad (video in full screen mode), they are still able to skip ahead.
This scenario can be replicated with the following steps using an iPad:
1) Play video content 2) Click on full screen icon 3) Try dragging the seekbar (video will pause) 4) Click on play icon 5) Video has been fast-forwarded
Repeat steps 3 and 4 if you are unable to replicate it.
Can the bug be fixed, else it's a pity that this feature would not be that usable anymore.
Hi Russell -- thanks for checking in on this. We do have this behavior listed as a bug. Even though the mobile device player can be "scrubbed," it shouldn't be playing from the forwarded position.
I don't have an update yet, but I'll make sure the impact on you is properly reflected. We'll share updates here when we can.
Hi Crystal, thanks for the reply. Really hope that it could be fixed so that we can use this feature again, in the mean time, will look for alternative ways to show our video content.
Can we restrict the videos under the process block? regular video can be restricted by unchecking the forward seek bar option in the settings of video blocks, but there are no similar options for videos added as media under process blocks, accordions, or tabs
There isn't an option to disable the forward seeking on a video uploaded to a Process block.
However, my colleague Chris has a workaround that may work for you. See his comment in this forum post. You may also submit a feature request regarding this option here.
