Continuous background music in Storyline 360
I am creating a Storyline project that has multiple slides with Engage interactions. In Presenter I could add continuous music by making a Playlist. However, this option doesn't seem to be available...
Hi everyone!
Good news! I'm happy to share that we just released Storyline 360 (Build 3.81.31200.0), which includes a feature to control the background audio for each slide using triggers to play, pause, or stop the playlist.
This was highly requested, so we hope it serves you in your course creation! If you run into any snags, don't hesitate to contact our team in a support case.
I appreciate the help very much! There are 2 audio files but I only put the second one in so it wouldn't seem so disjointed when the users were "zooming" into the information on the layers in each subsequent slide. I would prefer only one track that loops throughout the whole story.
Thanks again! I am looking forward to seeing it work and the explanation about making it happen.
Im sorry that i only now had time get this working.
Basically there is an extra slide not used in the flow, but adding resources that in the end will publish to the storyline_content. A variable with the 'filename.mp3' is set so in the end you only need to change that variable and add any wanted audio to the resources.
At start a Javascript is executed adding the needed code to the HTML and then another Javascript is needed on a trigger to start the background audio playing. As is you cannot use the default Storyline volume button as this only works with inline Storyline audio. I added buttons to pause/play audio. Thats the easiest solution for that. Offcourse you can add the pause/play and the volume control functionality to the default Storyline button, but thats another journey.
Kind regards,
Math
