Can students who do not have a Storyline subscription play a course?

Oct 16, 2017

Hello all!

I'm refreshing my Articulate skills and have published a module for web. When people who do not have a subscription try to open it, the revolving image just revolves and revolves and revolves...

Is there a way for these folks to see the course on a laptop or PC? Or would they have to be paying Articulate customers?

Hello Shawn. 

No. Students do not have to have a subscription to view a course. Payment is only required of those who create content using SL. 

During publishing did you check the box for "Include HTML5 output?"

A lot of current browser are dropping support for Flash. If you didn't publish HTML5 in addition to the default Flash version then the user will only see the spinning in browser that don't support flash.
