Continuous background music in Storyline 360

May 23, 2017

I am creating a Storyline project that has multiple slides with Engage interactions. In Presenter I could add continuous music by making a Playlist. However, this option doesn't seem to be available  in Storyline. I tried adding the audio to each individual slide, but then whenever the user clicks on a different part of the Engage module the audio would simply restart. Is there any solution to this?

Hi everyone!

Good news! I'm happy to share that we just released Storyline 360 (Build 3.81.31200.0), which includes a feature to control the background audio for each slide using triggers to play, pause, or stop the playlist.

This was highly requested, so we hope it serves you in your course creation! If you run into any snags, don't hesitate to contact our team in a support case.

Ofcourse none of these options mentioned here will work when exporting to video. As they are all browserbased.

Personally i never use Storyline for creating videos. AfterEffects, Premiere, Vimeo , Blender and tools like that are 2000% better in creating animation and video. Blender is open source and there are also a lot of free opensource alternatives for AfterEffects.
