Autoplay Media on first visit but not on revisit

tbanninga2873

Hi

I am creating an eLearning that has free navigation, so users will be able to go anywhere they want and go back to pages they have already visited.

This might be really obvious, but I can't find a simple way to have a video play on the first visit to a page, but not play on a return visit.

Also is it possible to have a video play fullscreen?

Thanks for the help!

Hi Tanya,

One way to have the video play on the first visit and not on the second visit is to use a variable and actions.

For instance:

1. Add three actions to the page.
   • Action: One Show, play media if variable = 0
   • Action: On Show, modify variable (set value to = 1)
   • Action On Show, hide media if variable = 1

For full screen, you can make your media the height and width of your slide, though I am not sure that is what you want...

 

Hope this helps.

Thank you Kelsey. I will give that a try.
