Mac M1 With Parallels: Articulate Storyline is Blurry

Apr 06, 2022

Hello everyone, 

I am hoping someone will have an answer for me as this has been driving me crazy. I have a Mac with an M1 chip with high screen resolution. I downloaded Parallels so I could run Articulate Storyline. However, whenever I open the app, everything is blurry. 

I have tried everything I know to do: I changed the hardware settings to scaled versus Best for Retina Display and it was still blurry. I have changed the scaling and screen resolution with no success. Is there anyone out there who knows how to fix this? 

It's hard to quality check my course when the graphics are so blurry. I have attached a screenshot for reference.

Hi Morgan,

I found this article that has some resources for Using Articulate Software on a Mac with Parallels Desktop.

I also did some searching in some Parallels forums. Here's the link.

About halfway down the page, there are some posts that might give some insight into why the blurriness is happening.

I hope this helps you out.
