You can remove the video play bar on your videos if you would like to prevent students from navigating and skipping through your video.
If you require students to watch a certain portion of your videos before the video lesson counts towards their completion, we recommend using our Video Completion Required Progress Setting.
You have the option to remove the play-bar from your Course Player through your Asset Library for individual videos or all of them, preventing students from skipping forward or backward during playback.
How to Remove the Video Play-Bar
- From your Admin Dashboard, select Products.
- Select Asset Library.
- Click on the video you want to edit.
- Scroll down to the Playbar appearance section.
- Toggle on Playbar appearance to hide the playbar on first play, preventing learners from skipping ahead.
- (Optional) Check Apply playbar settings to all existing videos to apply this setting to all videos in your library.
- Click Save.
Important Considerations
- It is recommended to use this feature in conjunction with the video completion requirement feature. This would require a certain percentage of the video to be watched before allowing students to mark the lesson as complete. Otherwise, students will be able to mark the lesson as completed and have the play-bar reappear.
- Once the play-bar is disabled, it will remain disabled until the student watches the entirety of the video and marks the lesson as complete. The play-bar will be re-enabled automatically on a per-student basis and will remain enabled for the student, allowing them to revisit the video without having to rewatch the entire video again.
