Play screen on ios devices

Jul 26, 2014

Hi all,

I've got a query regarding this "play" screen that comes up on ios devices prior to the launch of a course.

I am seeking to prevent this screen from appearing.

Firstly I will acknowledge that this subject has been broached before. I have read through all the other pages of support on this issue but nothing seems to help me in avoiding the screen.

It seems that a year or two ago some people were able to modify the javascript with success. I'd love to know if this still works for them after recent software updates, as it doesn't for me.

I am in a team of designers using Storyline. Somehow, one of us was able to consistently publish courses without the screen, but since installing the latest update its appears on their courses too. We can't understand why this one computer was able to avoid it. We were all using the same versions of the software and the same operating system.

Does anybody have any more news on this issue? Or perhaps recent fixes that are relevant to the latest update (6).

Is there an option within the program that prevents the screen from appearing?

I appreciate any help or thoughts.

- G

Hi Greg and welcome to Heroes!

I wanted to chime in here and share that there isn't currently a feature or option to remove that start page from within Storyline. I know that a number of users have discussed ways and ideas to remove it such as this thread, but since that's a modification of the published output it's not something we support and therefore I don't have any info on how it works/doesn't work in Update 6 of Storyline.

I hope that someone here in the community who has used that method is able to chime in here with some more information for you.

In the meantime, you're also welcome to submit a feature request here to change that behavior.
