Having HTML5 as the default instead of Flash player?

Hello Anjali,

Unfortunately there is not a way to reverse the way this works. 

Here’s how Storyline determines which version of your content to display when learners view it:

• Learners will see the Flash version of your course if their browser supports it.
• If learners are using iPads or Android tablets and you selected the Articulate Mobile Player (AMP) option when you published, the course will launch in AMP. (If they don't have the app installed, they'll be prompted to install it.)
• If learners are using iPads or Android tablets and you didn't select the AMP option when you published, but you did select HTML5, the HTML5 output will launch in their mobile browser.
• If learners are using a browser without Flash and you marked the HTML5 option, they'll see the HTML5 output. (For a list of supported browsers, click here.)

Thanks so much Emily!!

Hi Emily,

Just a small question again regarding my above question:

I cam across a discussion where Ashely answered: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/html5-output-with-flash-why

Is this something that has to be done within the code where it says "point directly to the story_html5.html file within your published output" and then the user would have HTML5 by default? This means it would work even if the user has a flash supported browser?

Thanks again!!

Anjali,

You could direct users to  the .story_html5.html file from the output, however this would need to be accessed on one of the supported browsers.
