Prevent skipping during playback

Event creators can configure classroom events such that they can prevent users from skipping portions of the recording while playing the recording. This ability is controlled by the Prevent skipping in playback event option.

When Prevent skipping in playback is enabled for a classroom event, the playback client works as follows:
  • The Fast Forward button is disabled.
  • The Next Index point button is disabled.
  • Index Point drop-down displays all points, but any attempt to seek ahead, snaps it back to the current time. However, it can be used to move to content that has already been viewed. For example, if you view slides 1 to 8 and then go back to slide 4, then you can use the drop-down to go back to slide 6. But slide 9 and beyond will be grayed out until they are actually played.
  • Any attempt to seek ahead using the position slider, snaps back to the current time. However, it can be used to move to a content that has already been viewed.
