Any Updates on Considering Auto Play Media in Rise?

This is very important feature for our compliance courses and needed ASAP. 

I too would like to see the auto play feature added for multimedia files.

For my Rise project that has a video that I want to auto-play, created an SL file with a video. I used the SL block feature and added the published SL to the Rise course.

This solution doesn't work when viewed on smaller screen such as a phone because of the dreaded play button for all SL block.

I would like this feature too :)

Please add this feature!!

I would love this feature, also!!

Please add the auto-playback feature!

When taking an e-learning module on a small device, it is even more important that we are able to auto-play audio/video! The "screen space" is already limited, and making a user "swipe/scroll around" for a play button is unfair. 

If we are truly keeping the learner in mind, the path to least resistance should be at the forefront of development.   

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.

Hey folks! Thanks so much for sharing your need for audio to play automatically in Rise 360. Here’s an update on our plans for this feature. 

Web browsers are moving towards 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.

It is my understanding that the main driver for web-browsers having stricter auto-play policies is to prevent intrusive content from interrupting the user experience, not to prevent included audio within a chosen interaction.

That being said, I think Rise needs auto-play for its audio to stay ahead of the curve as a leading provider. I have full confidence that the development team can come up with a workable solution that still delights both designers and end-users and remain well within the web-browser policies and functionality.

Most web-browsers require some user interaction with the content to indicate to the asset that it is OK to play. It could be as simple as letting a section's trigger also act as the interaction that meets the auto-play policy criteria.

Please don't give up on this improvement.

Add my vote for an autoplay option. This is a huge disadvantage in a learning environment.
