Hello, 

Good Morning, 

 

1) In a captivate project of 10 slides, there is a scenario where there are two videos on two different slides rest are all audio slides. 

 

2) Is there a trigger which can mute the slide audio and the audio of a video by clicking the sound on/off button?

 

3) If the audio is muted for one slide then all the other slide audios and the video audio will be turned off, if it is unmuted then all the slide audios including the audio of the video should also be turned on. 

 

Thank you.

      What type of video did you use: event video or slide video?

      There is a system variable cpCmndMute which you can toggle (it is a Boolean) to turn off all audio off (value = 1) or on (value = 0). Its default value as you can see in the Variables dialog box is 0.

      OK, you'l be fine with that system variable. You can use the On Enter event of slides to manipulate that variable, or you can create a custom toggle button.
