Disable dragging a video seekbar in Storyline 360
Hi everyone! Just wondering if there's a way to disable the seekbar dragging functionality of an inserted video in the storyline. Please see attached screenshot file for reference. Thanks in a...
Hi Everyone! I did some JavaScript to make this work by simply adding an Execute JavaScript when the timeline starts Trigger.
These are the JS codes:
// One liner function:
const addCSS = css => document.head.appendChild(document.createElement("style")).innerHTML=css;
// Usage:
addCSS(".video-seekbar {display: none;} .modern-video-controls .video-controlbar {height: 50px !important;}")
Thank you so much, everyone!
Hi Darryl!
Thanks for letting us know your needs for that video being included in the focus order. I wanted to pop into this discussion with a quick suggestion.
I found this discussion thread where community member Nancy shares a workaround that might be of help to you. She suggests going to Slide Properties and Player Defaults as a workaround for with the Seekbar.
Please let me know if you have any other questions. Happy to help!
Hi Luciana, thanks for sharing. I tried doing this but it doesn't work on my end, or maybe I'm doing it the wrong way? are you willing to share a story file that this workaround is working so I can replicate it in the right way? Thank you!
Hi Darryl,
There isn't a way to disable the functionality of the video control's seek bar. We recommend hiding this entirely if you would like to prevent your learners from skipping through the video.
One alternative that you can explore is to use the player's Play/Pause button to control your video instead.
This article explains how you can customize the Player for your course. I've attached a sample demo so you can see how the Player's Play/Pause button can control the video.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Hi Joe, thank you so much for this one. Yup this works but the problem is we do need the video controls that's why I can't do the one that you are suggesting.
