Updated over 3 weeks ago

Background

As an author, you can configure the following settings for the playback of audio and video files:

  • Limit on media playback
    When a limit is set, the user can only play the media a limited number of times.

    Warning: This setting is only applied in the assessmentQ player if the assignment template setting Limit media playback > Use the limit defined in the item options is enabled. For more information, see Managing assignment templates.

  • Autoplay and display of playback controls
    When autoplay is enabled, the media file is automatically played back when the user opens the item.

    Warning: The autoplay is not applied to the first item of the assignment.

    If, in addition, the playback controls are disabled, the user does not see the Play and Pause buttons.​
