Video completion is not persisting. It appears that I haven't watched the video after it's finished.

I have watched this video in full, a checkmark for this part of the course appears in the course outline bar above the video, when I click "continue" and move on the the challenge, the check no longer appears and it looks like I haven't seen this video.

I had a similar problem some time ago, but I noticed that when a video ends, there's a little animation with a graph. It seemed like when I clicked the next button before the animation ended, it might not remember that I saw the video.

After I developed the habit of waiting for the animation to finish (and maybe an extra second), I've never had it forget that I completed a video. :beetle: Sure, it's still a bug, but that seems to get around it.

Thanks Steven, happy to hear your workaround-- I'll give it a try. I did end up getting it to stick, but I couldn't pinpoint why it eventually worked. I think the problem may have been related to watching the video at 2x speed (revisiting some content I've watched before). I think this can cause the video to end without the time counter reaching the final time value ¯_(ツ)_/¯
