Hi everyone, I looked in the forums and I have found the way to disable the noise that Storyline inserts when you do a screen cast in each single slide. There is also a way to do it massively in all the slides?
Hi there, Pompeo! Once you've inserted the screen recording into your project, the mouse cursor becomes an element on each slide. There isn't a way to remove the click sounds from all the slides at once.
Do you need to show the mouse cursor? If not, you can reinsert the screen recording without it. Storyline saves it for you to use again, and you can choose not to include the mouse cursor when re-inserting the recording.
If you need to show the mouse cursor, it will include the mouse clicks unless you remove them from each slide.
When you publish your course, go to the Storyline output\story_content folder and rename/delete the mouse click.mp3 file. Something that looks like this:
Is going in to delete the MouseClickSound file really still the only way to disable the annoying mouse click sound? It's hard to believe that after so many years of people asking for this there's still no way to just change a default sound effect by turning it off! :(
Please tell me there's a solution for this! But whether there is or not, thank you Seth for sharing the trick above. Changing the "click" option on every slide to turn it off is not a solution. I hope Articulate realizes that!
Thanks for reaching out and sharing your feedback with us! We have a feature request logged for the option to modify default mouse settings. I've added your comments to the request and will be sure to update this discussion with our progress.
I'm hopping on here to also receive an update when this option is available! I am recording system demo's that are quite long and complex. I need the cursor to be visible, but I don't want any mouse audio. While I can remove the click manually for each slide, this get extremely tedious when I have hundreds of slides to update!

Hi Marcia,
Thanks so much for sharing your feedback with us!
I will certainly add your comments to the feature request, and we'll update this discussion if it makes it onto our feature roadmap.
Hey all,
Just wondering if there's been any further movement on the disabling of all mouse clicks at once as a function? cheers
