I need audio/video content to keep playing even when I switch tabs

Nov 30, 2021

Hi,

I ran into a problem with my video course. I have a couple of slides in my Storyline, one of which contains a video. The video is quite long and I wouldn't mind the students to switch tabs while listening to the content in the background. However, when I switch tabs, the video pauses and only resumes when I go back to the tab. 

Is there a way (perhaps a Javascript) how to force the video to play even when users switch tabs? I tried to look in the discussions but I couldn't find anything.

Thanks.

Peter

Hi Peter!

I have some great news to share. We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 74, we've included important fixes and new features.

One of the new features we've included is: 

  • Create immersive experiences with continuous background audio that sets the tone and keeps learners engaged.

Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.

Please let me know if you have questions!
