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
This works great locally but when I upload it to Tempshare for testing the music is gone.
Does anyone have any ideas why it wouldn't work? Thanks
Hi Phil,
I haven't heard that the music goes missing in Tempshare - does the rest of the course play normally? How did you publish it, with HTML5 included or not?
Hi Emily, this was so helpful! I do know html and js but I dont know how to deal with this storyline. So thank you so much. For reference, if you cant make it to work in chrome try it in microsoft edge or IE cause chrome doesnt work to me either. Cheers!
Thanks Flor for that update - glad you found this resource helpful!
This is awesome!! Worked perfectly for a system video demo I built. We decided against voice over and simply wanted instructions on the screen and background music this was an excellent work around! Thank you so much for the post!
I haven't been able to find a work around this issue. I'll post this as a feature request and I recommend anyone needing this in their work do the same.
I was able to have it work in my project. The issue that I encounter was that the audio narrations added on each slides are not playing. Would you happen to have a workaround on this?
This works perfectly on my project. Thanks! My problem now is that the audio narrations per slide are not playing. Would you happen to have a workaround?
Hey Ken,
Sorry to hear you're having trouble with this, and I saw you mention it in another older discussion too. Can you share a copy of your .story file here so that folks can take a look? That'll be the best way to get help for this custom audio set up!
Hi - I am noticing that inserting the code <audio src="Summer_Smile.mp3" preload="auto" autoplay loop></audio> works beautifully when I play the course in IE but does not play in Chrome. Did I miss the instructions in this thread? any suggestions?
Thank you!
Thank you Matthew. You are awesome!
