- In this Articulate Storyline 360 tutorial, Jeff will walk you through various ways to make your video interactive. These ways include pausing the video, asking questions during the video, and then jumping them to different parts of the video, depending on the learners' response as well as adding hotspots right on the video and showing information about the video allowing the learner to explore what they want about a video.
These methods help the video be less passive and more interactive, allowing the learner to engage, explore and adjust as they watch it. There are many more ways to make the video interactive, but these are just ways to get started.

Great video Jeff, thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Jeff you are great! Your tutorials are easy to follow, perfectly explained and "easy" to implement. It's such a great gift. Thank you for your valuable work🤗
Awesome, thank you! Glad to hear that.
Jeff, you are one of my favorite trainers! I’ve taken many of your courses and they’re all excellent!
Great to hear! It makes me happy hearing you find value in my content.
Just quick extra side-thought on the Lorem feature (maybe someone posted this already...) --you can pass parameters to it as well.
Type =lorem(p,s) where p is the number of paragraphs you want, and s is the number of sentences in each paragraph. Eg. =lorem(2,3) will give you 2 paragraphs that are each 3 sentences long.
Umm, did not know that. That's awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Great job (as always), excellent summary, helps a lot in the work.
Glad to hear it!
Very helpful and clear. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I have just discover your chanell, very useful information. Thank you for sharing!! New follower :)
Awesome, thank you!
Excellent tutorial -- thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
When doing any kind of branching activity I like to start with a flowchart
Thanks for the great video! I'm wondering: if I'm only wanting to do interactive videos in my courses, but I want to have as many features as possible (including branching), so you still recommend Articulate 360? It seems a bit expensive, and I'm wondering if I could get by with something cheaper?
It is pretty expensive if you are just looking at it for one project. If you are not building courses I would check out my interactive video template and video on it. I walk you through how to use the template learningdojo.ninja/templates.html
Hi Jeff, Thanks for the video! For some reason, my question 2 when answered incorrectly jumps straight to question 1 layer vs. going to the cue point selected. Any ideas why this could be happening?
Sorry for the delay. Not sure. You can send me the file and I can take a look. jeff@learningdojo.ninja
Hi did you resolve this as I'm having the same issue.
Hi! Did you find an answer to this? I'm running into the same issue. Thanks!
Hi Jeff, you offer some awesome vids on storyline. I was just wondering, can you use the button to jump other cues so go from cue 1 to cue 4 without it triggering any cues on the way?
If you add the triggers just based on buttons then I think that could work. If you trigger things based on cue points then you may run into overlap but just using the buttons should be fine.
@@LearningDojo ok thank you.
You can also use a marker, because icons have an issue in which if the user clicks on the "transparent" areas of an icon, the action will not be triggered.
Yeah good call out.
Great video! Can this be accomplished with a video inserted from website?
It's harder when the video is embedded because the page and timeline may load before the video. Things like Vimeo and TH-cam do have APIs but they have to be coded so it is tougher to do that within Storyline. I do have xAPI templates though that use the Vimeo/TH-cam API on my website. Not sure if that would help.
Hi Jeff, a quick question. I am publishing all my content for the LMS as videos. So the output for the entire content is a video. Will this still work if we produce the training as a video?
Hmm, if you are doing the video publish from Storyline then probably not. It gets rid of the interactivity, at least it did last time I tried. Most LMSs can handle SCORM output though and the video still plays as a video. Curious if you can publish that way then it should work.
When you are working with cue points, do you use a hot spot or some other way to NOT allow the user to control the video? If the user pauses the video, does this throw off the cue points at all?
It could depend on how you are bringing in the video. if it is a TH-cam or Vimeo video than yes it may throw it off because it is not using the same timeline as the Storyline timeline. If you bring in the video into the timeline and use the timeline player controls then it should work just fine and if the learner pauses the timeline it will prevent the cue point from firing until they hit play again. Hope that helps.
This is great! Thanks! How to break up a screenshot from a single slide?
This would be handled but page branching. So maybe split up the video into different pages and have the question pop up and then depending on the answer, jump them to different pages if I’m understanding what you’re wanting correctly.
Is it possible to have a trigger that plays the video in reverse? To simulate a fly-in and then fly-out again situation?
Hmm, not that I have seen. But maybe you show a layer that has a video in reverse? But you would have to save the separate video in reverse and only show it on the layer. Just a thought.
Great video Jeff! One issue I am finding is that when previewing, if you skip any part of the video, the cue points no longer work!! Am I missing something here? SL drives me crazy!
So in the player settings you can lock the player so the learner cannot adjust it till it has already played once. Do you know where those settings are?
@@LearningDojo ahh that won’t work for me as I need to have the learners be able to skip back and forth in the video. I didn’t realise that would affect the cue points working. I wish I’d have known that before 😩🤪😀.
@@markbrum I have some custom templates that do that kind of thing learningdojo.ninja/templates.html but it is just for video and mostly xAPI stuff. Or you could try using Camtasia for things like that. I have videos on my templates and how to do this in Camtasia on my channel.
@@LearningDojo I originally did this in camtasia but for some reason the quiz I added was lost even though I’d saved it all in a zipped project. The visuals in camtasia for the quiz questions weren’t great. Thanks for your help on this Jeff.,love your work 😁
Have you progressed at all with this @markbrum? This is a major issue that I have struggled with too. For me it pretty much renders video interactivity close to unusable which is a great shame. The problem is that there is a 'timeline time' and there is a 'media time' and they very easily go out of sync. It would be lovely to have a trigger which did something like 'make timeline time equal to media time' whenever something happened so that they could be forced to stay in sync.
This is the best. Up until now, i've been loading separate videos for separate choices meaning more loading (for each video to upload). Madness i know. Anyway, My question is this. I know I can now use cue points for my interactive videos to play and pause for all correct answers (the main path). This will minimise or remove loading time. Great! But what about an incorrect choice, should i put these all of these at the end of the correct main path and if so, will it take a while to load to that correct part of the timeline as it is likely going to jump a few minutes ahead that hasn't been loaded yet. I can't tell you how long I've been trying to find this answer. And just in case that hasn't sucked the life out of you, I heard it is better to import to SL in its highest quality and then use their compression tool - I notice you are using Handbreak initially. Do you also compress in SL
So first - I do not actually trust their compression tool for video. I think Handbrake does a better job so that is why I use that instead of relying on Storyline to do the compression. Just get better results. To answer your question about incorrect. I would actually do this on layers, if incorrect show a layer with additional content and then on that layer tell them you will take them back to a portion of the video to review or even have a smaller version of that video on the layer and then have a continue button that would either jump back in the video or just continue on the main video. Hope that helps.
@@LearningDojo Thanks so much for the response. Just to clarify.. you would put the negative consequence videos as separate mp4 tot he main longer correct sequence video and add them as layers? I really appreciate your time here. This has been an issue we've faced for some time.
@@virtualtourmedia3329 Sorry been traveling for 3 weeks. Yes separate out the videos into layers and then show the layer depending on their answer. Makes it a little easier for the navigation.
Hi Jeff - Articulate isn't available on Mac...is that right? What do you use to use it on your Mac?
He's using Parallels. It's a program that allows you to basically run Windows inside your Mac.
@@phattyj811 Thanks!
@@phattyj811 Thanks for answering this! Yes I use Parallels. Some use VMWare but I don't like it as much as Parallels personally.
Hi, How can you use Articulate with Apple Mac computer? I have Mac and there isn’t any version for Mac. Can you help me please?
So I am on a Mac as well. I have to use Parallels or VMWare to run Windows. I wish Articulate made a Mac version but sadly Storyline is the only reason I even run windows but that is the way I do it. It does cost but it is cheaper than having to but a PC.
Can this be done if publishing in html and not in SCORM?
Yep! Just publish to Web and not SCORM.
The trouble with this video, along with many others I have seen on TH-cam, is that they do not show what the end result looks like. The main reason I am watching these videos is to see what the final product looks like once all these features have been used. Any chance you can edit the video to add that? Really difficult to get the whole picture otherwise.
Thank you for your feedback. Sorry it did not meet your expectation. I do preview how the video plays and how the timeline triggers different things but are you talking about letting it play through the whole video? Or publishing it out and uploading it and showing what the learner is going to see? TH-cam does not let you edit the video once published or upload a new version so wondering if I could do a new video to address you concerns.
@@LearningDojoHi there, thanks for responding. Yes, it would be great to get an idea of what the learner would experience as a whole once these features have been applied. It would be useful for people like me who are shopping for a product not just from an instructional design point of view but also from the end user's experience. Thanks!
@@MaryamK75 cool, yeah I will noodle on that. If you want a free alternative though you could check out my free template th-cam.com/video/ItR8g8KuRNE/w-d-xo.html
What happens if they pause the video or forward/ rewind? I lose my interactions if they alter the video in any way. How to stop that?
You can lock down the seekbar so they can't do that or you could create variables for things to trigger only once if you want that to be the case as well. That is in the player settings of Storyline.
Can the black background be changed at all?
yes it can, I have just done it, just format background and choose your colour of choice :)
I do not see the setting to change the color in the dialog box but you can also not use that and use a shape and make it transparent and adjust the color on that.
hi can you please help me by giving some interview question regarding articulate storyline 360.
Are you talking about questions that may come up when you are interviewing for a learning developer job? I have not compiled a list or anything for that but may be something to think about.
How to get multiple choice results sent via email
Email would have to have a trigger at the end of the course. Not as reliable as an LMS though. I would actually suggest doing it via xAPI for more security.
Toooooooooooo much intro. ADD VALUE FIRST, then pitch yourself IMO. Everything else great.
Lesson learned, all my new videos dive right into content. This video is just older so hadn’t learned that lesson yet.
