Is it possible to have audio captions on all the time in Storyline?

Hi all

I've discovered the CC tool in Storyline which is great. One thing I can't work out. I'm not using the Player as I'm adding my Storyline to Rise. I would like to have the captions to automatically appear as soon as the audio starts. The only options I've found when searching is to add a button and a variable to toggle them on and off. Is there a trigger or option where I can have them always on when the audio starts?

Thanks, Laura

    Would the built-in Boolean variable Player.DisplayCaptions work? Create a new trigger on the first slide of your course with the following:

    Set Player.DisplayCaptions to value True
    When the timeline starts on this slide

  • Joseph, you are quite literally my e-learning hero! I've not got to grips with variables really yet but your explanation was super clear and worked a treat. Thank you, I promise to pay it forward some how.
