I'm developing a course that needs to have voice over for accessibility, but I want the sound to be muted as defaultand have the option to turn it on if they need it. Is there a way to do that in either Articulate 360 or Articulate Online?
An idea that I think will help is to create a button that uses variables to "toggle" the audio. The variable can start as False/Paused, and when the user clicks on the button the audio will play. Here is an example of what those triggers might look like:
If you are looking to create a toggle that mutes/unmutes that audio instead of play/pause, I wanted to share a community workaround that provides some solutions on how to approach this. This workflow uses a button as well as a javascript trigger:
but the java was outdated so I replace it with the java in your suggested link:
//mute/unmute // Use the global DS object if it exists, otherwise try require: var appState = window.DS ? DS.appState : require("helpers/appState"); appState.onToggleVolume();
I'm still playing with it, but it looks like it does exactly what I'm looking for. it mutes the audio across the entire project.

Hi Robyn,
Happy to help here!

Please let us know if you have any questions!
I think I got it! I'm a java newbie, but I was able to use the file that Michael kindly provided here:

but the java was outdated so I replace it with the java in your suggested link:
//mute/unmute
// Use the global DS object if it exists, otherwise try require:
var appState = window.DS ? DS.appState : require("helpers/appState");
appState.onToggleVolume();
I'm still playing with it, but it looks like it does exactly what I'm looking for. it mutes the audio across the entire project.
Thank you!
