Question

Is it impossible to auto play a project in a browser?

Hello - please see the brief article below. It seems to say that my HTML or responsive course will not auto play in a browser. Captivate adds a "play button slide" to the top of my project to take me to the first slide. I would prefere for the project to begin with my actual first slide.  Is there any way to achieve this?

    One solution is to simply incorporate it into your project. You can simply make the ironically called auto-play image your title slide of your course. It won't contain any audio but here is an example of what it might look like.

    Stag, thank you for both of your respnses. I looked at your video and the other blog posts. Just to be clear though, your solution still leaves the "Play" button slide at the top of the project--it just removes the play button. I want to remove that slide altogether. Is that possible?

    Stagprime, dont mean to be a pest but I just though about what you wrote. Could I edit the html file to not only remove the play button but to also remove the fast forward/rewind buttons at the bottom?


    Playbar is only useful for simple linear projects.  Besides for testing (although I mostly use TOC navigation) I never use it for a project, always provide custom navigation. Creation of buttons is very easy since you can have them on master slides or timed for the rest of the project.
