Maybe this will help somebody. You can actually replace the Play button's appearance with something of your own choice. Find the  "Play_icon.png" file and change its appearance in Photoshop or similar program with something else (eg. START TEST). The file is  located in the ...assets/htmlimages directory. Note! The dimensions of the icon must remain the same as original (96x96px)...

    My approach is simiilar but sightly different. I replaced that icon by an invisible image. When I add a poster image I will have a clear indication where to click in the center of the poster image. That way it is easier to fit it in the design, and the interactivity is maintained.

      Rod reply sums it up.

      There are hacks to get around it, but in my experience, it then causes other issues, like audio not playing.

      A more elegant solution is the change the button to a full screen button that has text that introduces the course.

        Actually that's a great idea!  I'm putting THAT one in my next book.

          You cannot get rid of the Play button, but you can replace the white screen by a poster image:

            Thanks Lilybiri, you have no idea how much new ideas this solution brings for my products. When I played around a bit with it I will share some stuff here.

            Some mobile devices and some mobile operating system version (e.g. iOS) do not allow autoplay.  There may be code hacks to get around it.  But the bottom line is that this is not really a Captivate issue.
