Hi Julieta! Sorry to hear you're having trouble in Chrome.
This problem does sound familiar. Are you using Storyline 3 and viewing the published output locally?
If so, you probably noticed that the local playback isn't working correctly since the latest Chrome update. This is a bug in Storyline 3.
The good news is, our team is working on a fix in Storyline 3 (we already rolled one out to Storyline 360). I'll let you know here as soon as that fix is ready!
Actually I used Storyline 360 to export the course. A month ago, the e-learning was distributed by our intranet, because we don´t have a LMS. In fact, the default browser is internet explorer, but last week a user reported the Chrome issue.
After writing this post, I installed the latest Articulate 360 updates and exported the course again. I ran it locally in my computer and this new version of the course worked on Chrome.
I am wondering when this fix will be applied to Storyline 3. Please let me know as we only have the ability to use SL3 at this time as upgrading is not an option for our team. We are having to inform our companies employees that they need to use Internet Explorer and many are avid Chrome users plus we have ones that are on MACs and they do not have IE. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.
I am also having issue in Chrome and in a company where different browsers are being utilized we need to have the flexibility to view in all browsers especially as popular as Chrome. Please advice when SL3 standalone will be updated / corrected. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Are you trying to view a published output file from your local computer? In other words, are you viewing a file that is not hosted on a web server or a LMS?
Alyssa Gomez,
We develop locally and publish locally first for testing. Then we publish to web so that the testers located in different states can view and make comments on the draft version. Once this process is all complete we publish to a network site and the end user's view from that location. We have not had any issues and are familiar with developing on our local C drive. All was well till trying to test in Chrome locally or through network. Our Chrome is the latest version and so is the Storyline 3. We had just updated. Our employees are in different states and countries. They must be able to take the modules.

What happens when you view the published content locally and on a web server in Chrome? Does the content play at all? Does the first slide seem stuck?
It looks like you meant to share a couple of screenshots, but they didn't come through. You can reattach those by clicking here and using the Add Attachment button.
Hi Paul, and thanks for the attachments. It looks like you're using Chrome v64. We have an issue documented for Chrome v66 when launched locally, so I'm not certain what's happening in your Chrome environment.
I'd like to have a closer look.
What exactly happens when your course doesn't play? Does it load anything at all? Do you just have a spinning circle?
Do you have audio or video on the first slide?
Can you share your .story file with us for testing?
In the meantime, I understand it's really important to be able to send your stakeholders around the world your content for testing and feedback. I'd like to give you a temporary workaround so that you can continue to move forward. Have you used our Tempshare site before (listed in the linked article)? You can use it to temporarily host web output. The links expire after 10 days, and you can share them with anyone you'd like. They are anonymous and not indexed, so only people with the link can view your content.
Let me know if that's a solution that works for now, and we'll dig deeper on what's happening with your course in Chrome.
One note - when you reply via email, it includes your contact information and posts to the forum discussion. You're welcome to edit it out if you wish!
Yesterday I uninstalled and reinstalled S3. The reason I did this is that Firefox stopped working and Chrome started.
Here is what was happening in Chrome:
* What exactly happens when your course doesn't play? Does it load anything at all? Do you just have a spinning circle? Started playing but when going from scene to scene it froze on 2 scenes only. The rest played fine.
* Do you have audio or video on the first slide? First scene would not play sound. You could hear the clicking of the mouse but no talking.
* Can you share your .story file with us for testing? Not sure if you still need as it seems to be working after uninstall and reinstall but I can do that. The failures were intermittent. If you would still like me to share let me know and provide instructions on what file you need and how to deliver.
Thanks Paul

I'm experiencing a similar issue with a SL360 course, where the video stops mid-way when using Chrome (v66). Works fine in FF, IE. Testing in our LMS (SuccessFactors) and Scorm Cloud. Any recommendations?
where do we share our files? I have courses that I worked with Abel to download previous versio of storyline only to be able to get the courses to work in SuccessFactors LMS. however, a month later and those same courses that were tested then, today do not work in chrome, and did not work in the scorm cloud today in chrome. They do work in internet explorer and iOS iphone.
What version of Storyline did you use to publish those files? We'd be happy to test those files further--you can share them with our team by clicking here.
We are on Chrome 64.0.3282.119 and have issues out of Storyline 3 when publishing article. Does not matter if on C drive or on web or LMS. The Exit / Exit Course button will not work.
Please assist.

The module is too big to send over our email. Is there a way I can get it to you? We have more than one that has the same issue with the Exit Button.

Hi Lisa and Paul! I appreciate you reaching out.
Are you trying to view a published output file from your local computer? In other words, are you viewing a file that is not hosted on a web server or a LMS?
We recently released a fix for this issue in Storyline 3, so now you should be able to view the published output locally in Chrome.
Simply download and install the latest update, then republish your file. Let me know how it goes!

Hi all,
I'm experiencing a similar issue with a SL360 course, where the video stops mid-way when using Chrome (v66). Works fine in FF, IE. Testing in our LMS (SuccessFactors) and Scorm Cloud. Any recommendations?
Hi Valentino,
We've yet to see that type of behavior in Chrome! Could you share the .story file with us or a link to the course?

Hi Paul,
Sorry the exit course button isn't working correctly for you! What happens when you click that button?
We're happy to help with testing, if you don't mind sharing your file. Could you send it our way by clicking here?
