I need to use Wowza Player in a situation where the video being watched cannot be skipped forward. I have turned off the scrub bar on the player but the keyboard arrow keys and the numerical keys still will allow a viewer to skip forward. Is there any way to turn these off in configuration or in the API? It is really important that this video gets watched in full to get continuing education credits. It is OK to rewind and pause but they must eventually get to the end. Thanks for any help.

Hi @Karen Kendrick I spoke with the Player team and we don’t have this functionality right now, but they are going to add it to their tickets for priority changes and I will let you know when it will be available. Thank you for raising such an interesting question.
