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!

    Currently, the background audio is not included when you publish to video. We'll be sure to update this thread if any adjustments are made to this feature in the future.

      Hello Joyce,

      I'm happy to chime in. That's a good question. During development, you can remove the background audio by going to the Insert tab on the Storyline ribbon and clicking the Audio drop-down arrow. Then, hover over Background Audio and choose No Background Audio. Untick the "No Background Audio" option to enable it again.

      Learners can also toggle background audio as they prefer. They can press Ctrl+Alt+A on their keyboard or turn background audio on or off via the accessibility controls. Check out the article below for more details.

      If you require any further information, please let me know.
