Any Updates on Considering Auto Play Media in Rise?

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.

I agree the autoplay it is necessary for some courses 

Also when we add the "Continue" button I select the option "Complete All Blocks Above" unfortunately the audio can still be skipped by the user is there a way to make the user listen to the complete audio and not allowing them to forward the audio as we have that option on Storyline.

I will add my vote to please provide the option to auto-play the audio for the course creator to choose as the default, or for the learner to decide a the beginning of the module.  I receive complaints from my users that the constant clicking is actually disruptive to the learning experience, and I agree.

Please provide auto-play. 

I cannot use your product until you solve this problem. I'm making decisions that will effect my company for the next couple years. Rise is no longer in consideration due to this limitation. It's disappointing.

My team is in the same boat. We are starting to look at Adobe a lot closer now as well.  

I am hopeful that Articulate is working on this.  I know it is probably one of the most requested features based on the threads here.  I am fine not having autoplay as I do see giving learner control of the audio is a good idea.  However, it needs to be a more seamless experience.  Something I have been doing is using the process block for this purpose.  It kind of a slide show of sorts.  I just wish there was something like a "Narration block" where we could put a series of slides that play from beginning to end after the student presses a play button on a splash screen.  Of course, I know a SL Block can achieve this, but this is not a Rise thing, and it is an extra step. 

Please add my vote as well. I've spent the better part of this afternoon trying hard to figure out a way to do this. I thought creating a Storyline block would do, but I still have to click Play to make the Player start! So frustrating.

I too would like to see autoplay for audio. 

Add my vote too. We, as elearning authors, need this feature. I think it's essential to elearning, we´re not developing webpages, we´re making elearning courses and the auto-play function it's almost a mandatory didactic resource. All we are asking is the freedom to choose if the audio or video will autoplay or not.  

+1 from me as well. I have also added a feature enhancement request (thanks 'eLearning Developer Kate' whoever you may be :-). Having used Rise for a couple of internal courses now it is infinitely quicker, but for my external client paying courses, I need autoplay voiceover.. It's almost a backwards step.
