When I add a screen recording to my training it saves it in an MP4 format if I am not mistaken. However, I have some students using older browsers that do not support this format. Is there an option inStoryline 2 toget screen recordings in another format, or is there another work around I am missing? Thanks!
Yes, Screen Recordings are in mp4 format. I'm not entirely sure how to answer your question, but thought I could perhaps bubble it to the top ;). There IS a way to export screen recordings (I've provided instructions and a screen shot here in answer to a community member's question ... although SL1 I believe it's the same in SL2. She was asking about exporting a frame, but you can see in the screen shot you can export a movie.)
BUT I don't think that's what you're asking. So, perhaps someone will jump in.
What browsers are the other users accessing the course through? You'll want to point them to using one of the supported browsers here for SL 2 and here for SL1.
As Rebecca mentioned, you can export the screen recordings, but it's also worth noting that videos will be encoded upon publish, and depending on their original format it may be encoded to an MP4.
Thank you both for the feedback! Our students are using Internet Explorer 8 as their standard, so I think we just need to tell them the training needs to be given through an updated browser. I just wanted to see if there was any other work around that I was missing.
As Brett mentioned, and in those articles IE8 is one of the supported browsers - although a newer one wouldn't hurt for other issues.
Have you been able to connect with your IT team about the browsers "not supporting" MP4s though? Is there a block or security setting that is causing this to happen on your end? If they're able to test other browsers and determine how it works there thay may help you narrow down where the issue is occurring. There are also some other known issues detailed here on why a video may not play in your published content.

I use IE8 all the time with screen recordings and MP4s. I don't think that is your issue.
