Thanks for your feedback everyone! 

We've shied away from auto-playing audio and video because it's really non-standard on mobile devices. In fact, most phone browsers actually prevent auto-play of media; it needs to be user-initiated. 

I appreciate you chiming in with what you'd like to see, since the ideas shared here in E-Learning Heroes contribute to our product roadmap. 

We're monitoring these requests as we consider what features to add to Rise in the future. We'll let you know if we decide to allow autoplay in the future.

    So are you saying autoplay will not be an option for the creator to select in the settings?

    Please add me as a vote for yes ... give the creators the options to autoplay or not. Look at how LinkedIn learning handles their course with audio and text tracking. My typical user is not the best reader which forces us to use Storyline vs rise.
