Background Music keep playing.

It would be great if you could include a feature to pause the background audio. Just like Kai, I need the music to fade out and stop at the end of the last slide. If the music continues to play forever I cannot use what I built at all, which is a pity. Otherwise the background audio feature is great since it makes everything sound so professional!

Hello. I heard about this workaround but have yet to try it:

A workaround for pausing the background audio for a specific slide when a video ends or is paused is to add another video to the slide. Configure the video as follows:

1. Make sure the video is short and has no audio.
2. Insert the video into the slide and drag it outside of the slide area so it is not visible to the learner.
3. Add a trigger to play the new video when your video completes.
4. Add a trigger to play the new video when the new video completes.

This will result in a hidden video playing outside the slide that starts when your original video ends and loops continuously during the slide. While this new video plays, the background audio will be paused if you enable the option under Slide-Related Settings to Pause background audio when video content plays on a slide.

What I would like to see as part of this this new feature (which is a great addition) is the ability to fade it out at the end of a piece of content too. I want to reach my last slide and it fades to zero, right now, the music continues to play forever. This means I cannot use it at all which is a real shame as I love how it will automatically dip the audio when there is another sound happening on the slide.

I'm having a similar issue. While I can create a trigger to pause the in-slide media, I don't see an option to pause the Story-wide background music using the new feature released April 2023.

I believe you can pause or stop the background music by setting a trigger to pause media or stop media at a cue point or a time on the timeline. Then add a trigger to resume if you want to.
