Articulate and Facebook/Twitter/WhatsApp/Telegram

Jan 16, 2021

Good Day,

My scenario... I have a video that I created in Replay 360 and I share it across this social media platforms, i.e. Facebook / Twitter / WhatsApp / Telegram. The challenge I have is that the I cannot make the video interactive, i.e. I want to have a button in the video that allows the user to click/tap on it and it must redirect the user to a specific url, embedded in the button.

I have tried inserting the video into Articulate 360 with a button. But the button does not do anything. How do I get this to work.

Thanking you in advance for your assistance iro of the above.

Hello Earl!

Great questions! Since videos aren't interactive, I'd recommend exporting the video as a .mp4 and then import it into Storyline 360. Then you can add interactive elements like buttons in Storyline 360. 

I'm looking forward to hearing what other community members recommend to share their projects on social media apps.

Hi Jose, 

You can create the interaction in Storyline 360 and publish your course for web distribution. You can then upload the published output to a web server and then share the URL on social media. The interaction itself might not be directly visible on your social media page, but your learners will have the opportunity to click on the button to get redirected to your link.
