No Audio Playback in Chrome 66
May 14, 2018

I have recently published SCORM content to my LMS and am having issues with getting the audio to play when it is viewed in Chrome 66 (no issue with Safari or Explorer). LMS support says it's a new browser security feature to prevent auto play without user input on Chrome. I am working in Storyline 2 and LMS support suggests "updating the SCORM" - not so sure how I can accomplish this. How can I get the audio to play within the LMS from the first slide - any work arounds or suggestions?

OK - thanks!
Thank for this post! I was in complete panic since none of my courses would play the audio. It was working just fine until last week. My IT team and I couldn't figure it out, will do this today!
Hi Rachel and Jennifer,
We'll let you know once an update for Storyline 2 is available, our team is hard at work on this.
I saw a user share a potential workaround earlier today, so you may want to take a look at that to see if it would help in the interim. It's not something I've tried or can offer advice on, so feel free to reach out to Senthil directly.
Is there any other option than republishing individually? I have 100's of courses.
Thanks, Internet Explorer was working for us during the interim while I republished the courses.
Hi Lauren,
Our team is working on a content updater to make that process easier, but it's not ready yet, and an ETA on that is also still undetermined. As soon as it's ready we'll let folks know here in E-Learning Heroes though!
Great, thank you. Luckily I have about 40 courses right now, took me all day yesterday and half day today to get through it all. Moving forward though, I know I will have well over 100 courses and it won't be doable to convert one by one since it's very time consuming. If your team is able to come easier process, that would be fantastic.
Hi Jennifer,
We're still working on this updater, but today Chrome also rolled back some of their changes to auto-play. Apparently it wasn't just Articulate customers who were unhappy with their new take on this! We updated our article here with that additional info, as this rollback from Chrome is temporary till Oct 2018.
Good to know we weren't the only ones impacted! I already converted everything, so I guess I'm all set for Oct. It will be great to see mass upload converter. Thank you for the update!
Hey Storyline 2 users! Good news... I'm excited to let you know that we released update 13 for Storyline 2 which addresses the autoplay issues with Google Chrome.
Download Storyline 2 here for the latest version!
*Note: Google Chrome rolled back their autoplay policy for now, but they expect to implement it again later this year. Make sure to republish your content with the latest version so that you're ready!
Thank you Crystal!
