Ability to change playback speed of audio
A client has asked me if it was possible to speed up the audio narration in Storyline 2 to 1.25 or 1.5 times normal speed. She had seen that in some other video and was able to speed up the audio and then slow it down when she needed to concentrate on something. Thoughts or suggestions?

I also need varying speed for profoundly deaf users.

Yes, please add this feature when you can!

Yes, please! I've received this request periodically, too. I actually sent this as a feature suggestion about three-four years ago because of the number of requests I received then. I don't understand why Articulate developers don't realize how beneficial this feature would be. Students have different needs. Some, because of physical restrictions or just preference, wish to hear the voice over at a slower pace. Some can digest the voice over content at a much faster pace. When rereviewing the content, a student may wish to hear all of the voice over again but at a much faster pace. This feature would be a game changer!

Add my vote to the list, too! The use cases for this are extremely important.

And my vote as well! Clients are asking for it.

I have clients asking for this feature as well. It is definitely in keeping with adult learning principles. Many people are used to this feature because of the ability to adjust the speed on podcasts and pre-recorded lectures. This would be very helpful for my learners.
Thank you all for sharing how beneficial this would be in your courses! I've updated our feature request to include all of your comments. We don't currently have this on our feature roadmap, but I'll update this discussion when I have more information!

That would indeed make for a welcome feature. Until then, however, the work-around is to put your video on your youtube channel and put the link into SL instead.

I sent this note to Articulate Support on the 19th. I'm posting here because I still don't have an answer about timelines. If the Rise player supports audio settings, why doesn't the Storyline 360 player?

I watched a Rise webinar today. The player is what our students want. We have to create courses in a compliance model because of cheating (not a surprise, happens everywhere, even at West Point). The Rise player has a a feature that figured prominently in end of year evaluations (about 4000 students). The ability to speed up audio. Our students are the YouTube generation. This is so basic to them and really adversely affected course evaluations. They really don't like restricted navigation, but we changed the grades awarded for going through all the material. That helped. Enabling the player audio would really help. Is it in the pipeline? Many thanks, Susan
