Auto play audio in Rise?

Please let us know if this becomes a thing or is coming soon

Many years on from this request by thousands of users, on hundreds of different posts, and still no update. Is it still 'not on the roadmap'? Why??

Noticed this thread is over a year old, any updates on this feature? It would be awesome if the user had the choice to turn on/off audio narration as they go through the course. I have tried with audio clips, but it isn't the best

hi Jacques,

2 products I know for that: iSpring Suite, Atomi Active Presenter

Don't hold your breath. Five years ago this was brought up:

Two years ago a staff member said it was logged as a feature request:

I've yet to see any feature, requested by MANY here, implemented. Not a single one I've looked into, going back YEARS. Just accept this limited program as-is, until you can move on to other products on the market. That's what we're doing where I work.

Auto-play would also be significant value in my work as well. As stated by others, it seems as though allowing creators to turn the feature on or off as they see fit would be the best approach, both for learners and designers. Thank you for considering! :)

Hello Alyssa.  Has this feature been added to Rise yet, or maybe it's only been added to the roadmap.  This is a huge piece of compliance training - because the ADA requires automatic audio to be read for certain visually-handicapped people.  This is an important feature for people who make officially certified learning modules.  Please let us know if you are adding something to address this need.  Thanks so much! 

Hi Articulate Support. Any updates on this topic? It's been a while...

I terms of browsers limiting auto-play, would it not be possible to require a student to play the first media clip, but then all other media clips in the same course would auto play?  This would be a great compromise, so that students only have to click the audio track once at the beginning of the lesson.

So, I understand the hesitancy to add audio-auto play but why not allow us to add a trigger to other activities that then cause the audio to play? You already auto-animate the rendering of pages as users scroll, why can't you support the same behavior for autoplay video and/or audio files? Imagine for example that I could build a trigger that says On Mouse Scroll Play Audio File 1, or when page renders on scroll event play audio file 1, or when user clicks the START button of the course, open the course and play audio file 1. It doesn't make any sense that when I am browsing through my Facebook page, if my audio was set to play the last time I used it as soon as I scroll to the video it plays without additional prompting. If I'm Muted then I have to change things...but the fact that they play is critical to the user experience. We are trying to use the tool to develop learning content and in cognitive learning design I need to send an audio channel and two visual channels, a symbol and analog. By not letting me send the audio channel it is adversely impacting the success of the content I'm developing. It's seams a little crazy that everyone is begging for this feature but doesn't appear to be a priority and should be!
