Overview
The Disable Seeking setting prevents viewers from skipping forward through videos.
This is commonly used for:
- Compliance training
- Continuing Education (CE/CPD/CLE)
- Mandatory learning content
- Course completion requirements
Important Note - seek can be disabled on each Course individually, rather than on the site wide video player. Changing these settings will disable seek by default on all videos within your content library.
