Pausing a project when user changes over to another browser window

Hi,

I`m using Captivate 9 and I publish in HTML5.

Is there a way to automatically pause a project if the user changes over to another browser window? And to resume the project if the user changes back to the original window (in which the course is running)?

Maybe some JavaScript solution?

Thank you very much for any help!

Best regards

Michael

    Add this in the head of the index.html

    <script>
    function chkVisibilityChange()
    {
    if ( document.hidden )
    {
         window.cpCmndPause = 1;
       }
    else 
    {
         window.cpCmndResume = 1;
       }
    }

    document.addEventListener("visibilitychange", chkVisibilityChange, false);
    </script>

    Good morning and thanks for your support. I have a little problem, I try to synthesize.

    My client wants to avoid user open new window/program while he's watching the course.
    I have tried this code and it works perfectly only if I open new browser window.

    If I open new program (Teams, Outlook.. or a pdf) the course continues to run.

    Could you please tell me how to fix this?
    Thank you in advance.
