Is it possible to add background music/sound to my Rise project.

Hey there, everyone. We've been listening to your experiences and wanted to share an update about automatically playing audio in Rise 360 courses.

Web browsers are moving toward stricter auto-play policies in order to improve the user experience. We agree that requiring some kind of action from the user-  such as clicking a button before playing audio- is the right approach to ensure a unified experience for all learners. To that end, we won't be adding any auto-play features to Rise 360. However, we are looking at ways we may be able to provide narration features that don’t auto-play.

    Thank you Crystal, this is great news for narration. For my learners who are ESL and those who learn better by listening than reading I'm sure they would not mind having to click a button to start the narration - if that is the only option for your developers. I'm looking much forward to this feature!

    Hi Crystal,

    Is there any more on this option of playing background music (if a learner would like)?
