I am using Robohelp 10. Is it possible to insert a video and have it automatically play when the topic is opened?

Not to worry - found the autostart setting in the html and changed it.

<param name="autostart" value="true"  />

Hi Alchemex,

What tool are you using to create the video.

You can set preferences using the tool that you created the video with/

For example, if you are using Adobe Captivate you can set videos to start automatically?

Let me know if you need more detail.

Kind Regards

Craig

I am using Camtasia 7.  The problem is that the video does automatically play using other media players but when inserting into robohelp, you have to click the play to get it going.
