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.
**Please note that this is just a cool trick, and not a built in feature of Storyline 2.
Publish your course, open the story.html file with Notepad, scroll to the bottom and add this code
<audio src="YOURAUDIOHERE.mp3" preload="auto" autoplay loop></audio> with a space before the </body> and place your audio file into the published output folder and there you go. That is it.
Here is an example, http://bit.ly/1sy5dkV and the output folder is attached.
Have fun!
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!
Hi Guys, thank you for the clear instructions.
Unfortunately, for me, it works only on Microsoft Edge, but my learners use mostly chrome and there the audio file doesn't work.
Any suggestion?
Thank you!When you say "it doesn't work", could you be more specific? There are multiple solutions in this thread so it would be helpful to know which one you tried. Also, which version of I.E. are your learners most likely using? Additionally, which version of StoryLine are you using? Did you try the instructions here: https://rise.articulate.com/share/HO9-VvSOZZdjXn5Ga0-a-BFDcYZQYcbr ?
Owen,
Thanks for responding. I tried the instructions in this post with no luck. The end user is using Edge for the browser and I am using Storyline 360.
It might be the firewall here but that zip looks empty.
I get zero bytes as well, Owen.
Owen and Leslie,
Let me try this again...
That is the published content. I need to see the StoryLine file. It should end with the file extension ".story"
I added that file to the thread
Here it is sir
Owen,
Here is the .story file for my project using the Java Script method. Please take a look. Thank you sir.
Thanks for this great tip!
I did have to add it to the index_lms.html in order for the audio to play in our LMS. The story.html wasn't working.
Hi Emily,
When I publish my Storyline 360 file to LMS, and then open it, below is what I see. I don't see anything that says story.html. Can you please clarify exactly what I need to open from the list shown and where I start typing your code?
Dawn,
The last file in your list is the one you want. It's called "story" and is an HTML file as the description points out (Chrome HTML do...). Double-click that file and it should run for you.
Cheers!
Darin
Can you loop this audio when doing this trick?
It should be built into the player option (added feedback already) :)
