Volume Control not working for embedded videos

Jun 03, 2015

Hello! I am working on a client project that includes embedded SWF videos on nearly every slide. I am finding that the Articulate Storyline 1 volume control is not working to adjust volume on the embedded videos.

Any idea why this may be happening, or ideas for troubleshooting?

Hi Rachel!

Is then when you are viewing on an iPad?

You may find that the volume slider doesn't work on slides with video content when you view the HTML5 output in mobile Safari on an iPad/iPhone.

Apple has chosen to ignore volume settings for video content since iOS devices have built-in volume controls. (See Apple's developer documentation for details.) As a result, you'll need to use the volume controls on your iPad or iPhone to adjust the volume of video content in your course.

Hi, Rachel - 

For general troubleshooting purposes, there are a few thing we can try first to rule out some common issues: Please make sure you are working locally as described here, and you may want to try importing the file into a new file. If you are still having issues, you might want to try to repair Storyline. If issues persist, you are welcome to upload a generic test file here, or if you would like to submit your actual file confidentially, please use this form and we'll check it out.
