Adding Audio to main page in Rise
Forgive me if I'm wrong but I think Crystal's response is correct. There is currently no way to add an audio block to the main page with the START COURSE button. Our client really wants this capability and it is hard to tell them "sorry". They want to provide basic course navigation instruction before the user has to click START COURSE. Will this never be a capability?
Hi John,
We don't have that feature in our roadmap. If anything changes, we will update this thread.

John, there are multiple threads on this forum spanning over 4 years begging for that function. This is a simple accessibility issue! During COVID we had to give people that can barely use a flip phone a TABLET and ask them to navigate a complex class. (Computers are NOT an option, hence why I am stuck with Rise, as oppose to beautiful and ever-functional Storyline with millions of triggers I can do - these users cannot do email! So - no LMS). Those are often the venerable of the population, people that cannot sit in a classroom because of health concerns, but still have to come to work.
Rise offers an easy to use design and slick features, but there are users out there that will sit there and stare at the tablet with "click here" button in front of them and not know what to do. There has to be an ability to reach out to them with a voice and explain that the rectangle that says "click here" is a button that needs to be touched with a finger without a glove.
Please see links below to some of the older threads asking for that feature:
