Auto-play on Rise
Is it possible to have embedded audio automatically play on Rise? Perhaps as you scroll past it, it will automatically play? I am looking to add background noise to my lesson of ocean noise.
Hey Jackson!
When we first released Rise, we shied away from auto-play audio because it's really non-standard on mobile devices. In fact, most phone browsers actually prevent auto-play of media; it needs to be user-initiated.
I appreciate you chiming in with what you'd like to see, since the ideas shared here in E-Learning Heroes contribute to our product roadmap! It's always good to keep these discussions going and evaluate changes as Rise is continually evolving. Based on a few different requests for this feature I've seen here in the community, I'll definitely bring it up again with our team!
I would like the option as well.
Thanks for adding your voice here, Jeff!
Autoplay of audio is definitely a "would like" or even a "must have" to move from Presenter to Rise.
Hello, I also need it - I am building a course where we have illustrated dialogues in some scenario-lessons and it is kind of essential for us to have the autoplay. Thanks!

Yes, useful in a learning environment. Please activate this feature. : )
Found a temporary fix! Place the video in a Storyline file.
> In the player options, remove all items from the player (menu, volume, title, etc.).
> Color the player frame black.
> Remove the next and previous buttons in the slide settings and make sure the video is set to automatically play on slide.
> Publish the file to Articulate 360.
> Pop the Storyline file into the latest version of Rise.
> In "blocks", add a new item and click on "interactive".
> At the bottom is the option to insert a Storyline file.
Boom! Video that plays automatically in a Rise presentation. : )
But the learner must click play still when using their mobile device - this does not work,.
I love the Boom. Reminds me of a mic drop :)
Thank you for sharing this option! Saved me hours :)
Not working for me!
Hi JC,
Some modern browsers, like Safari and Chrome now block autoplay audio and video. This keeps Storyline 360 content from playing automatically.
Since we can't change browser settings (if only we had that kind of power!), we updated our software to allow learners to view video content regardless of browser restrictions.
Let me know if you have any other questions. :)
I'm looking to do the opposite...not have video play automatically. I'm embedding a Vimeo video in my Rise course and want learners to read the introductory text and then click to play the video. Suggestions?
Hi Deepa!
Are you embedding the video in a Blocks lesson? If so, try adding a Continue block just above the video. You can even edit the text on the button to say, "Click here to watch the video," or something to that effect.
Give it a try, and let me know if that'll work for you!
