Disable Responsive Player? - Storyline 3
Dec 28, 2017
Please update us on the following issue:
- In Storyline 3, is it possible to disable the black UI responsive player that appears in mobile device deployment?
After developing a course in Storyline 3 and publishing in HTML5 only, we would like to have our courses viewed across screens of all sizes using the standard Storyline player only.
In projects of this type, providing users with simple information about how to navigate a course has become an ongoing challenge. Development of the navigation sequence has become a branching affair totaling 25 extra slides per project. These, in turn, are contributing more than their fair share of tester (read: negative) feedback and technical problems, bloating course size, adding time to course development, testing, and viewing, and necessitating the building of more fragility into courses that really should never break.
In sum, the responsive player sports a nice design (kudos!), but it is terrible, terrible, terrible for development and deployment purposes.
If we could simply turn OFF the responsive player and go back to issuing all courses with the standard player (and the original single set of navigation instructions), it would make a real difference.

Hello, Glow 2D. Thanks very much for spending the time to tell us about your experience developing courses and why a feature to use the standard player on mobile devices is important to your workflow.
I'm submitting a feature request on your behalf, so you will likely receive an email confirmation about it. In the meantime, we've had a lot of feedback about having a unified player option that plays for both desktop and mobile devices. We're working on that feature, so perhaps when it's released, you'll be able to cut down on development time by only producing one set of navigational instructions.
I'll tag this discussion for follow up on the unified player option!
