Publish to CD

Jun 16, 2021

Hi all (again),

I am creating some material for a friend who doesn't have an LMS so I doing the following:

PUBLISH > CD > Zip > Extract All > Open story.html file

Why does it have to be the story.html file and not Launch Story?

When she tried Launch Story, the embedded video came out pixelated.

I just want to understand why so I can explain this to her.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Charlie!

I'm happy to help! I'd recommend a different approach. I'd recommend sending the zip folder without extracting it. When the recipient receives the zip folder, they'll want to extract all on their local computer and then open the Launch_Story.exe.

Please give this a try and let me know if that makes a difference!

Hi Lauren. Sorry for the late reply and I probably didn't explain myself properly as the steps I explained were when I was testing it.

I do send the zip file to my friend and then she does the following:

Extract All > Launch_Story.exe

But the embedded video came out pixelated.

This does not seem to be the case when she clicks story.html

Hello Charlie!

No need to apologize! I appreciate the update. I've tested this exactly on my end, but I see the same quality in both Launch_Story.exe and story.html.

It would be helpful to look at the file to determine what is getting in the way. Would you mind either attaching the .story file to this public discussion or upload it privately in a support case?
