Hi - I was wondering if there were any updates on adding an auto play feature for media in Rise? The learner would have to hit play for audio and/or video in each lesson. It would be more interactive if the media was set to play automatically. Thanks!

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.

I would add that it would great if Articulate left the question of 'to auto-play or not' to their customers discretion and to please add in the option to turn on or off auto-play. A lot of courses are being run on private company LMSs and they may want this functionality over and above what is standard on mobile etc.

Hi Kristen and Alex, Thanks for sharing your +1s. I don’t currently have any updates, but you are now subscribed to this conversation which means as we share updates here, you’ll automatically be notified.

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.

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.

Add me to the votes for this feature. I have a short "video" of my company's logo animation that I want to put at the end of the course, but not if they have to push Play.

Has there been an update to this? I could create the content I need MUCH faster if the auto play feature could get enabled. Right now my only option is to use Storyline for the content I need to get out when everything but the auto play feature is in Rise.
