Open URL from a Captivate generated MP4

Hello all,

I am putting together an instructional video (.mp4) using Captivate 5.5, the video will be targeting iOS users.

I will need to provide a way to open some webpages while the end user is playing the mp4 file. My thought was to include a button with an assigned action to "Open URL or file" and specify the URL.

This does not seem to work after publishing to mp4 format. Is that feature not supported in Captivate mp4 files? Or did I forget a step maybe? Is there a workaround to achieve the same result?

I'd appreciate any input on this.

Hi there

Unless something has changed recently, it is my understanding that MP4 is strictly a video format and does not support hyperlinking or other types of interactivity.
