You can enable or disable autoplay for all video lessons in your course with the click of a button.
This is not available with the Legacy Course Player. If you are missing this feature, see how to update your Course Player here!
To access the feature, navigate to your course in the Course Builder and under Settings, you will see an option for Course progress & completion. From there, you can enable or disable the autoplay feature for your video lessons.
Video lesson autoplay is enabled
When students finish watching the full video, we'll display an interstitial page with a countdown timer. The student can use the "Continue" button to automatically proceed ahead, or they can wait until the countdown timer completes, at which point they'll automatically proceed to the next lesson. The current lesson will automatically be marked as completed once the video finishes playing.
Note: If you've added text beneath your video lesson, or a download to your video lesson, autoplay will be paused for this lesson so that the course player doesn't skip to the next lesson before your student has had a chance to finish reading the text.
Video lesson autoplay is disabled
Students will need to manually click on the "Continue" button to proceed to the next lesson and mark the current lesson as complete.
Customize button text
The text for the buttons on the interstitial page can be customized from the Customizable website text section in your Settings. You can customize the "Continue" label which is used on the interstitial page that follows video lessons.
