background music in Storyline
Hi everybody,
Is there any way to insert background music like in Presenter in Storyline?
Thank you
Hi everyone!
I have some great news to share. We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 74, we've included important fixes and new features.
One of the new features we've included is:
- Create immersive experiences with continuous background audio that sets the tone and keeps learners engaged.
Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let me know if you have questions!

Hey all,
So I want my background music to play from slides 1.9 to 1.11. Is there anyway that you're aware of to set the parameters for when the slide music plays in the background?
Could I separate it out into its own scene and then set the scene as the background music? I suppose I could set this content to auto-advance and manually select the time of the music clips, however I wonder if the transition from slide to slide would feel choppy and weird.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Sam
Sidenote - I did what I mentioned and set the slides to auto-advance, and then just edited the background music to match the VO length, added fade outs / ins, and it's "okay". however, it would be better if the music didn't stop between slides.
Thanks,
Sam
Hey Sam! Depending on how you want to build your presentation, you can build it with layers rather than slides. If you do this, you can set your layer properties so they do not pause the base layer when they play. This will allow music on the base layer to continue to play as your users advance through the layers.
