Question

Lightbox Video

Hi all,

Could someone please help? I am creating some e-learning on captivate 8 and I want a slide where delegates will click on a hyperlink which will open a video as a light box (I have done this already). Does anyone know of a way to:

1. Have the video automatically start playing when they click to open the video?

2. Only show a close button for the lightbox after the video has finished. I don't want the delegates to be able to close and skip the video without watching.

If anyone could help it would be very much appreciated!

Many thanks

Rob

Unlike Articulate Storyline Captivate does not have a dedicated 'lightbox' function that you can easily use.  So the best solution here is usually just to place the video as a Slide Video on a separate slide and jump to that slide from your 'hyperlink'.  You can format the video slide to look like a Lightbox.
