Player

With this option you can choose to hide the Audio Player so this is not visible to the Learner on the screen. The Player will still be visible in Author mode, but will be indicated by a dashed rather than a solid outline.

You can also choose to display a minimal Audio Player, showing only the Play icon. This can be resized using the Resize icon or by typing the width into the Size options in the Edit box.
