Control audio and video in an agenda

You can play and pause any MP3 (audio) and MP4 (video) file imported in the Cornerstone Classroom App as an agenda or JIT content. When you click the Play button, the audio or video starts playing in the session for all the attendees simultaneously. When you click the Pause button, the audio or video pauses for all attendees in the session simultaneously. Clicking the Play button again simultaneously resumes the audio or video for all attendees in the session.

Participants do not have ability to play or pause MP3 and MP4 files in the agenda.

When you pause an audio or a video in the agenda and switch to a different agenda content, and when you switch back to the audio or video and play the file, the audio or video resumes from the paused position for you and all other attendees in the session.

Notes:
  • Currently, only MP4 videos can be viewed and controlled in the media panel inside the Cornerstone Classroom client. Videos in the AVI and WMV format open in a new external window of the leader's default browser.
  • Play/Pause controls are displayed for Express client in the Firefox browser only. However, participants cannot use them.

If the session with an agenda audio or video is recorded, then all the related controls are hidden during playback. If the recording itself is paused while the agenda audio or video is being played, then it pauses the audio or video as well. Resuming the recording resumes the audio or video as well.
