Published to web Storyline 2 files do not play when I click the the html and shockwave flash files on SharePoint 2016 online (part of Office 365). I uploaded all files through Explorer to SharePoint. All files are checked in as I never checked the published files out. I have tried the options in several threads on this topic but have not been able to view. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Shortest path to a resolution would move your project off Sharepoint and onto another, true, web hosting platform like Amazon's S3 service. Sharepoint alters filenames a bit so names coded in the SL material doesn't match, especially under Office 365.
Thanks for your suggestion Brian. I am still hoping to use SharePoint. Has anyone had success viewing Storyline 2 from SharePoint online in Office 365? Which file names does SharePoint alter and what is the workaround?
Checking once again in case anyone can help. SharePoint Online doesn't play HTML files. Has anyone had success playing SWF files with SharePoint 2013 online? Can you please share how? Thanks for any workarounds that you may know.
In SharePoint 2010 this works. Please try it in the 2013 version, and let me know if it is still an option. Publish your files to your C drive. Open a SharePoint library. Click the Library tab at the top of the SharePoint screen to open the ribbon. Click "Open with Explorer". Drag all of the Articulate files from your C drive to SharePoint. Change the file extension on the story.html file from .html to .aspx. You must close the Explorer file. Open the library again and click the story.aspx file. Does your articulate file play?
Hi Linda, Thanks for the suggestion and apologies for delayed response. When I did that and clicked the .aspx file, I no longer had permissions to view in a folder I had permissions to view. So I internally needed to make some requests through our IT and check folder setup permissions. I think that this is the solution though. Many thanks!
When I follow these instructions on a presentation_html5 file published from the Articulate Presenter powerpoint plugin, the result is that the file from Sharepoint DOWNLOADS instead of plays. Any solve for that?
First of all make sure the SharePoint2016 site is accessible to all or at least to the users who should have it. Ideally, make it a read only site for the members.
Second, publish your file locally and for best results publish for web.
Third, rename all the .html file to .aspx. When I say all there should be no more than 3 to 4 files on the main folder.
Fourth, place the entire folder on SharePoint and wait for it to sync completely.
Fifth, run story.html5.aspx, it should open on a new tab.
Sixth, copy the link from the new tab and share this to all your members.

I ran into the same problem whilst using SharePoint online, and managed to fix it by using Linda's instructions.
1- Download the Story.html file to your computer
2- Rename the file to end with .aspx
3- Upload the file to SharePoint
4- Copy the link from the new .aspx file and paste it in your browser, which will play the file without downloading

Here is the best possible solution for you.

This should do.
