Captivate 8: Is there a way for viewers to see author name, company name and video run time by having an info button on the play bar?

All I found was a TOC option, which is not what I need. Instead of a TOC button, does Captivate have the option to put an "I" or "Info" button on that play bar? I want my users to see an info button on the play bar as an option, so they can click it if they want to see the author, company name, run time.

If this isn't possible in Captivate, I guess I could create a small button myself and place it in a non-conspicuous place on each slide. But I really think the play bar is a more appropriate place. Any info or ideas would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    Captivate does not have this option.  You're idea of adding the information to the slide yourself is the easiest approach.  The playbar buttons are not customizable without programming expertise.

    You have it on the TOC info button, that is the easiest way. You can also

    insert system variables in a text container and set it for the rest of the

    project. For the playbar you'll need a programmer.
