Auto play audio in Rise?
Is it possible to make an audio clip auto play in Rise? And if so, how can I do this?
It's worth noting that if you have users who use screen readers, autoplaying audio and video often causes havoc with these (as they navigate by listening autoplay can interrupt the flow of the page unexpectedly). It's best practice to have video/audio activated/deactivated by an action (IE selecting a button) so the user is always in control regardless of any accessibility needs. Likewise if you have users with particular attention disorders.
I know this is old, but I wanted to thank you for this comment. It makes sense. I am trying to make all our courses more accessible, and this is an issue I had not considered.
