Hi All,

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.

I can hardly believe it, but I did get this to work today in Chrome and IE on Cornerstone On demand LMS on a Windows 10 laptop. Today I have Version 72.0.3626.96 (Official Build) (64-bit). However yesterday I had Version 71 something. Who knows. Here are the details:
1. I'm running Storyline 360 October 30, 2018 version (due to two other bugs that I hope get fixed sometime).
2. Published using SCORM 2004 3rd edition, HTML 5/Flash. (Note: publishing with HTML5 did not work for me)
3. I opened the folder for the course in Documents>My Articulate Projects (or wherever you publish to).
4. I added my sound file (yourmusicfilename.mp3) to the root of my published course.
4. Code:<audio src="yourmusicfilename.mp3" preload="auto" autoplay loop></audio>
I added this line of code BEFORE <body> and <html> in these 2 files: index_lms.html and story.html. I used Notepad to do this. Be sure to save.
5. I added the same line of code above BETWEEN <body> and <html> in these 4 files: index_lms_flash.html, index_lms_html5.html, story_flash.html, and story_html5.html.
6. I zipped it all back up and sent to my client's Cornerstone administrator to load (this was about the 6th try).
7. Tested the course in Chrome and my music is playing through the entire course. It's also working in IE.
Before hitting Post here, I just went back to make sure I wasn't hallucinating and it still works. Somehow it is possible to make this work, in Cornerstone anyway. Good luck!
Hi Jill,
Glad that it worked. Did you try it on ios device? iPhone or iPad? did it work on those?
Thanks
Jill,
Can you explain what "BEFORE <body> and <html>" means? The original post indicated the line of code be added after you "...scroll to the bottom and add this code with a space before the </body>" - I see one "body" reference at the bottom of my file. I take it we mean pasting the code before the reference "body" with a space between </body> and the end of the code.
Is this correct?
