Background music through entire Storyline 360 video
- 2 years ago
Hello, Everyone! ✨
I'm happy to share that we have released a new update for Storyline 360 (Build 3.79.30834.0).

Hi, I am trying to add background music to a Storyline file but unfortunately this trick isn't working - the audio isn't playing. This is what I did:
1. published the storyline 360 file (used the Web setting)
2. copied the .wav file into the published folder at the same level as story_html5.html
3. opened the story_html5.html file and add the following code right before </body>:
<audio src="song.wav" preload="auto" autoplay loop></audio>
4. Ran the story_html5.html file. The audio isn't playing for me though?
The track is about 2 minutes long, but the module is longer and interactive... so not a set length. I assume the audio should start immediately and keep looping?
Thanks!

I know it's been a long time and you probably already solved this issue, but if not...
Modern browsers block automatic media play for security reasons. Meaning you'll have to allow the user to interact before a media starts playing.
Last time I had this issue, I created a "Start" button in the first slide and used javascript to start playing the background music.
