I have a lareg video file I have sucessfully published to my LMS. The original request was to set up without user access to playback controls to prevent FF through the video. Now they want the playback that allows the user to pause and resmue the video. I have coiurses where this works on my LMS but others set them up. Attached is a screen grab of the message I get when the courses that have the resume capability are resumed.

How do I set this up in Captivate?

    Please do NOT attach files, but insert the screenshots so that we don't have to download files.

     

    What you showed is the runtime dialog which will only be functional for slides, when you use bookmarking with the Table of Content (not with a LMS). But you are talking about a LMS?  And about pausing and resuming using LMS bookmarking?

    The idea of TLCMediaDesign is brilliant, since bookmarking is always slide-based.

    I would span the video across a ton of slides and see how that works.

    That seems like a good and easy to accomplish suggestion without needing to work with variables on your own.

    If the client does not want to give the user the ability to fast forward through the content, just remove the Fast Forward option from the playbar in the Project > Skin Editor > Playbar settings.

     

    If you don't want them to be able to scrub the cursor on the playbar, either turn that off in playbar settings too, or else you can disable scrubbing on the playbar using the CpExtra HTML5 widget.  (Be aware this cannot be done with IE11.)
