Background Audio Cool Trick
Hi All,
Just wanted to share a way to add audio across all slides in Storyline 2 There are a few posts on here about this, and I found this method to be super simple.

Hello, Everyone! ✨
I'm happy to share that we have released a new update for Storyline 360 (Build 3.79.30834.0).
In this update, we have an enhancement where:
- Background audio is now supported in the published video output.
As a first step, I recommend updating Storyline 360 to the latest version. Here's how:
If you have any questions, please let us know in this thread or privately in a support case.
Have a great day!
Create a Slide Trigger and Execute JS in the slide you want to activate the audio in Storyline. In the slide trigger you can set when the audio file will start, i.e. by user interaction, timeline, cue, etc. The audio will play from that moment fwd regardless the number or types of slides placed afterwards. There may / not be a way to adjust looping or volume control, but I have not looked into it yet. I just tested this and it worked much in the same way as the html audio scr trick mentioned above except you can set when its to begin. You must Publish the module to test this feature - it does not work in Preview.
Add Script:
var audio = new Audio('audio_file.mp3');
audio.play();
Add *.mp3 File:
Place the audio file in the same location as the story.html file.
Pros: You can control when and how the audio will begin playing in Storyline.
Cons: As is, the volume control switch in Storyline will not control the volume of the audio file (Shazbat!) so it will either need to be adjusted using an unrelated program prior to publish or with additional script - if it exists.
Enjoy and good luck. Ja.
