Can you speed up the player in Articulate 360?
I don't think this has been possible before, but can a user speed up the audio on the player in 360?
Hello Everyone!
I'm happy to share that we have released Storyline 360 version 72 (Build 3.72.29654.0).
Included in this release is a new feature where you can let learners explore at their own pace by choosing a course playback speed between 0.25x and 2x.
Now all you need to do is update Storyline 360 in your Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let us know if you have any questions by reaching out to our Support Engineers directly.
Have a great day!
Hi Norman,
No, that's not currently possible. I'm curious as to why you'd want them to be able to do that. Care to share?
some learners would like to be able to speed up the narrator. we've had feedback that the pace is too slow (for some).
some video players allow for you to increase speed of the audio.
Hmm... even if you were able to speed up the audio, I think it would sound funny. But you can go ahead and submit a feature request if you'd like.
This would be like most audiobook players, Allison. They have an algorithm to adjust speed without changing pitch, avoiding the "chipmunk" effect when playing faster. This lets the listener find a comfortable pace.
I agree that this would be a great and welcome option in Studio and Storyline. Nearly all modern online video players all the viewer to adjust the playback speed. In most cases, the speed changes, but the pitch stays the same. Adjusting the speed would also need to proportionally effect any animations or other movement on screen.
Slower can work better for learners who are non-native English speakers or when the speaker has a strong accent. Faster is great when the speaker is a little slow to keep attention.
I'll be submitting a feature request.

Dear Joe,
could you please share if you get an answer, or some other kind of solution?
when English is not the native language, we encounter the same issues
I also agree that it would be a great and wanted option. People does have different tempers and some want slow speed others fast and even very fast speed.
We have several feedbacks wanting this option.
Is there any news on this? It's something a lot of other SCORM publishing tools seem to allow?
E.g. users can participate at 1.5x 2x speed etc. I've used materials like this myself and it's a great time saver / doesn't really take anything away.
It *should* be as simple as speeding up the timeline?
There is another thread on this..with more feedback from Articulate Staff.
I'd also like to throw my hat into the ring on this issue, to follow development progress on it and weigh in on it.
I represent the engineering team at a premier educational platform for medical professionals, and our customers are clamoring for a way to play audio/video at different speeds, and also have the option to toggle between manual slide navigation and autoplay.
Articulate working this into its product roadmap would be more than welcomed and appreciated by its direct and indirect customers alike.
Cheers to the Articulate engineering team who is able to deliver this highly demanded feature enhancement.
Great product, btw!
Variable playback is essential.
I like to do that myself when watching video tutorials on youtube or listen to podcast.
i hope the feature vill come to articulate as well. Adobe Captivate has it...
I am adding my voice to this feature request. We really need the ability for our learners to be able to adjust the timeline speed up and down.
