I am very new to Storyline 360 so I might be doing something wrong, but I've run into an issue doing screen recordings. When I record a process my team needs to do from a web application (I tried both Chrome and Edge), the recordings capture the clicks and the hotspots but not the text entered into a field. I have unistalled & reinstalled Storyline 360 all to no avail. All that being said, I did attempt to record typing up an email and it picked up the text entry.
My question - what could be impacting the screen recording from recognizing text entry from the web? Is there a way to fix this?
I'm sorry you've run into a snag—I'd like to gather more clues so we can get to the bottom of this:
Are you seeing this behavior after completing a screen recording of a web form?
After completing the recording, does Storyline fail to generate a text entry quiz slide?
We have a possible bug reported related to web forms that we're investigating, but I'd like our support engineers to confirm if your issue is related. Is it possible to share your .story file so we can take a closer look? We'll reach out soon after we hear from you!
I am curious if this was resolved... I am also new to Articulate 360 and Storyline and I am having somewhat similar issues with collecting text from a web application (a banking application called Integrated Teller from Fiserv). When I do a screen recording, when there is a text entry field, it captures the first digit of a number as a separate text entry (results in a separate slide) from the rest of the number. For example, if the entry was 3500, on one slide the hint says Enter 3 and on the next slide it says Enter 500. BTW, when I save the screen recording, I am selecting the Step by Step Slides option (Try Mode Steps).
Hi Maria –
Thanks for your response. I am going to try a different browser later today. FYI I was using MS Edge, and I will try both Chrome and IE.
Also I will go ahead and share the Storyline file with the provided link.

Tom
Sorry, I lied... I forgot it is an application that is installed, and we use a browser to launch the app. So I don't think the browser selection will matter much. I followed the link provided and created a support case.
Case #03155760: When doing a screen recording of a web-based ...
Great call opening a support case! I see you're working with John Carlo, so you're in great hands! Please reach out through the case if you have additional questions.
Here are the steps that our Support Engineer shared within the case to assist Helen:
"First, be sure you're working on your local hard drive (typically your C: drive) when creating, editing, and publishing Storyline courses. Working on a network drive or a USB drive can cause erratic behavior, such as file corruption or an inability to save changes. See the following article for more information and tips. And let me know if you have any questions.
If you're already doing that, please follow these steps to remove all Articulate 360 files and registry keys from your computer, so we can start completely fresh:
1) Close the Articulate 360 desktop app by right-clicking the Articulate icon in your computer's system tray (by the clock) and choosing "Quit."
2) Go to your Control Panel and uninstall all Articulate 360 apps, including the Articulate 360 desktop app, Peek 360, Replay 360, Storyline 360, and Studio 360.
4) Right-click the 360cleanup.bat file and choose "Run as administrator." The script should only take a few seconds to remove all the Articulate files and registry keys from your computer.
I'm happy to chime in! Are you using Google Chrome to record your screencast? If so, try using Firefox and see if it helps; it provides the richest data set. You can check out this article for more information:

Hi, Tom.
Thank you for reaching out!
Since this is a web application, have you attempted to use a different browser when recording to see if it solves this issue?
If not, would you be comfortable sharing the .story file through a support case so we can investigate this further?

Hi, Tom.
Thank you for opening a support case! I see you're working with Ronaziel, so I'll follow along.
Hi, has this issue been fixed please? As I am experiencing the same issues with Chrome and Edge. About to test IE next. Thanks, Helen
Hi Becca, has this been fixed please? I am experiencing same issue and don't know how to overcome it. Thanks.
Hi, Helen.

Did this ever get a resolution? I am getting the same issue. It doesnt create a text entry box/slide it just picks up the mouse motions and clicks.
Hi Matt!

Please let us know if these steps do the trick!
Sadly that had no effect. Same issue it seems to ignore the typing. Shows the mouse movement and then jumps to after the text is entered.
