Problem to charge video

Hi, I am using Captivate to send videos inside the slides. The problem is that the videos are very heavy and although I host them on the server, the students cannot play it well.

One of the reasons why I use this method to send the videos to my students is so as not to give them the option to download it, but I have noticed that when I click the button to enlarge the video, I get the option to download.

Is there an option to host videos in captivate without getting the option to download the video ?. And, is there any recommendation for the videos to be viewed faster by the students?

Why use a playbar?  Use slide video and add some bookmarks because any slide video can become an interactive video. Add a custom Next/Back button (can be on master slide or timed for rest of project).

Publish to HTML5 with Scalable HTML checked.

Or use interactive slide video in a responsive project, bit tricky but works:

I want to make disappear the square in right-down corner of the video, bacause when students use this button they access another menu where there are three points that allow them to download

    I don't usually use captivate to insert videos, but when I need it I don't want to give the option to download the video. I have noticed that if I change the appearance of the playback bar, when eliminating the option to enlarge the video, the three points with the download option no longer appear, since the download option appears within the expanded video menu . Even so, if I remove the zoom icon, I get the video not downloading but the students cannot see the captivate in full screen. Is there a way that when I publish the captivate it will come out in full screen or fit the device?

    You would need a video streaming service.

    Since I always use Captivate as eLearning tool, not for passive video, not sure about which restrictions you can have on YouTube or Vimeo about downloading video. That could be an alternative.
