Auto play audio in Rise?

Thanks for letting us know about this, Sandi. Media autoplay isn't on our roadmap right now, but we'll update you if that changes.

 i do not use Rise 360 for this reason.  Is it coming any time soon?

I would also like to see autoplay added!

Absolutely, John! Thanks for letting us know this feature is important to you.

Can I add my voice to the request for autoplay with audio clips?

I find Rise360 an amazing tool for deliver training content, however, some of the courses I would like to create need added voice and autoplay. I understand this can be done via a Storyline block but that is not really my option. I join the group that support autoplay option in R360, why not make it an clickable option like the one on images. For me this is the #1 in new features in R360, hopefully we will see it soon...oh yes I beleive in Santa Claus...still ;-)

Just want to add my support for easy to use auto play functionality (without needing to imbed a Storyline block).  We want to include audio with much of our content, and requiring the learner to click the play button for each audio clip really diminishes the user experience.

Hi Calvin! 

Usually you'll see a play button when there is audio or video on the first slide of the Storyline block. Did you insert the audio on the first or second slide?

If you'd like us to take a closer look, please share a link to your course here!

I have created a Storyline block, threw an image on it so all the user sees in RISE 360 is an image but ultimately it is the Storyline block with audio that auto-plays. However, the tricky thing is this...

I had a deck of Storyline that's with 30 slides and have divided them into blocks. Each "block" is about 2 to 8 slides from the actual Storyline deck. Before each "block" I've placed an image that lasts for 1 sec, and then it auto plays the audio/ animations.

It works well for some (plays image and auto-plays the audio+animation) but there are others which doesn't auto-plays the audio. I will need to click on the "play button" and audio will come out. 

I'm not using a different deck of Storyline but using the same deck, just that I've deleted those that I didn't want, to make up a "block".

What actually went wrong? Can anyone advise me?

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.
