Autoplay of Video in Rise/Storyline
this is a browser restriction for autoplay audio and video (with audio)
here some background infos for autoplay media
- Chrome: https://developer.chrome.com/blog/autoplay/
- Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/block-autoplay
- iOS: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13266474/autoplay-audio-on-mobile-safari
the user interaction in rise does not count for storyline if they are hosted in different domains (LMS <-> Review 360)
if you remove the "Play" button (there are tricks to do this), the video will not start anymore

Hi, I am having the same problem as above.
I have tried the cover page solution with a trigger to auto-play when slide 1 timeline starts.
I have added to a Rise course that I am viewing in Edge browser.
I still get the play button appearing on slide 1.
Anything else that I am not doing??
Thank you!

Hello JaniceCampbell- ! You're not doing anything wrong as this behavior is browser-based. Only Firefox consistently allows Storyline blocks to autoplay. Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Safari sometimes don't autoplay content, which results in the Play button appearing.
