Can you publish an mp4 file from Storyline so that it can play on an ipad and iphone?

Welcome to the community, Rene!

Storyline publishes a collection of files, which allows the content to progressively download elements. This means your content will have faster download and playback times.

Currently, Storyline does not support publishing to a single file. If you'd like to see this feature, please submit a request to our product development team.

If your Articulate content does not include interactive elements (such as quizzes or user-initiated navigation), you can record your Articulate content as it plays, using a screencasting tool like Screenr (http://screenr.com), to capture a video of your Articulate content. Screenr is free, and screencasts can be viewed on iPads and iPhones directly from the screenr website. There are also options to publish your Screenr screencasts to YouTube and to download MP4 versions, both of which also play on non-Flash devices.

Thanks and welcome again, Rene!

Hi there Bob,

Storyline does publish for Flash and HTML5 for the iPad - it just doesn't publish a single file, which was Rene's inquiry. 

If you're planning on publishing for the iPad, here are some resources you might want to keep handy:

I hope this helps! ;)
