Auto play audio in Rise?

Adding my vote for autoplay for audio availability in Rise! 

Hi,

Alyssa, this is great news :-) Rise360 is a fantastic program and the lack of autoplay restrict furter use of it in my organization. Really looking forward to see this implemented, hope for that this is not to far in future. Keep up all the good work you do!!!

Thank you so much for listening to the community, this feature will really help User experience with our courses :)

I'm happy to see it's on the roadmap! I can't wait to learn the release date!! 

need this feature, adding my vote too.

Adding my support for this feature

I would also like to add my vote in for putting Autoplay Audio on the feature roadmap for Rise 360!

I know this is an older thread but wanted to let people know that the reasoning behind not auto-playing media is not just because of stricter rules.

For any media to auto-play, means the user/learner is suddenly using data. If they are not on a Wi-Fi network (or for some reasons, have their mobile device set to expend cell/tablet data first), then those are all automatic dings on their data-usage allotment. 

You can see where this might cause issues for the user/learner. If all media auto-plays, and they surpass their data-usage, suddenly they are on the hook for data-overage charges. This in particular is of concern for users/learners who rely solely on their mobile device for internet accessibility, and accessibility towards whatever eLearning content you are creating, which can thus become a concern for the employer.

Ways around it of course, but this is why some developer programs (and some rules/regulation around this exact topic) have been deliberately designed this way (and I believe I recall RISE even stating that was their intent when this first rolled out). I'm not sure of the percentage, but a lot of html 5 stuff is shifting towards that design format as well. Just food for thought.

I agree with all comments in this and other threads about the need for auto play audio, it adds to the experience and drives engagement.

Matthew makes a good point, but you could have a disclaimer at the start of your training module about data usage. 

Learning is about engagement and a voice over for content supports learners who perhaps don't read well. 

This is a must have in my book, and everythign else about Articulate is great for me so far, lack of this feature is a real let done.

A few months ago I saw a post that the autoplay was in development.  Any update?  I really need it.
