Automatically open a marker when slide starts...
Good morning!
I'm playing around with some ideas here and I remember in Engage, when working with the "interactive screenshot" style interaction, the "Introduction" label opened automatically when the slide timeline started.
Trying to replicate this in Storyline I can't find a way to get that first marker to open automatically.
Any ideas?

unfortunately, markers cannot be triggered open, you could create something that looks like a marker to do this but it is a bit of a kludge
I did a bit of searching and found that this is the case.
Never mind, necessity is the mother of invention - I found another way around what I wanted to achieve!
Any Update?
Wow, Sergio! You found quite an old discussion.
I don't believe this feature has been added to Storyline yet, and to be honest I haven't seen a lot of requests for it.
Perhaps you can share a bit more about your setup and folks in the community can offer some alternative ideas!
I just stumbled on the solution to this issue by accident. I had a marker that was opening automatically and I didn't want that. I'm posting the solution here and in a few other identical threads in case anyone still needs it. If the marker is the first object in the focus order for a slide or slide layer, it opens automatically.
Thanks Ryan, I was pulling my hair out.
I noticed that it won't trigger automatically if it is grouped with other objects as well - even if the group is the first object in the focus order, and the marker is the first item in that group.
Lifesaver Ryan, thank you for posting that here!
