It also says that external content URLs in SCORM packages are not officially supported. The Mindstamp package loads the hosted video, so test one package first. 1. On the Mindstamp **Share** page, under **Export**, select **Download SCORM package**. This needs a Core plan or higher. 2. In **SCORM Version**, choose **SCORM 1.2**. Absorb does not state which SCORM 2004 edition it supports. 3. In **Completion Checkpoint**, choose 10, 25, 50, 75, 90, 95 or 100 percent. The 80 and 85 percent options do not record completion. 4. Upload the ZIP file as a SCORM learning object. Turn on **Lesson contains assessment** to record the score. 5. Run it as a test learner. If it does not track, use the Object learning object instead. ## Absorb video learning objects have no questions ### Video learning object and Absorb Create - Uploaded MP4 or WEBM video that completes when watched to the end. - No questions in the video learning object. - Absorb Create, an authoring tool that advertises in-video questions and branching. ### What Mindstamp adds - Questions, hotspots, and branching on the video you already host. - Lead capture, so an Object learning object view still has a name in Mindstamp. - Answer-level reports that an Object’s completion on open cannot show. - One video used in Absorb, other platforms, and your website. ## Check these before you publish ### The modal stays blank Absorb blocks standard video page addresses inside its iframe.
