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!
If anyone still needs help with adding background music to play throughout a course, this works for me.
- After publishing your course, open the html5 file in a text editor
- In the code look for the end of the body section. Look for the closing body tag </body>
- Just before this put in this audio code
<audio autoplay loop>
<source src="yourmusicfile.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
</audio>
- Save it and then you should be good to go
Does the background music pause or mute when you use the player controls?
I don’t think it will, but I’m not using the volume control or pause in my project so I’m not sure.
I got it to work to play and pause with the volume control. If you feel comfortable working with the published code, I can walk you through it.
Hey Andrew, I use this background method often but not tied to the player volume control. Would be interested to learn what part of the code you're tweaking.
