I have a video from a website embedded in my course on a page that users go to to access other pages. I would like for the video to go away if the user has gone to a page from the menu (the video autoplays so its awkward to hear over an over again). Is there any trigger that I can use to stop/pause/get rid of the video?
If you simply want to hide the video when they re-visit the slide, you might be able to place it on a slide layer, and only show that layer the first time the user visits the slide. I might test this out myself now...
That is does Mike, thanks for the assist! I may try something with the API in the future, but all I want for now is to make the video go away after the first time through.
I love that there are so many ways to accomplish everything in Storyline, but sometimes it takes another eye to spot the way to make it work for you.
I know what you mean. Sometimes I start out thinking of a way to do something with a bunch of variables, and then find out SL already has a feature that makes it much easier to accomplish. The developers really did think through things well when creating the software. I can't wait to see what future versions will look like.

Is this a vimeo video?
Sure is.
You can use Vimeo's javascript API to monitor and control the playback of the video: https://developer.vimeo.com/player/js-api

Does the attached file do what you wanted?

Glad that helped!
