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.
Is there a way to make this work when inserting a SL block into Rise? Or when publishing to Review 360? For self-paced learning, this is an absolute must!
This works both on Review and in Rise. In fact you can make anything work on mobile devices too.
Hi Math, thank you for the prompt reply and for all of the wonderful help in this thread. I do have it working, however my one issue that remains is that an action from the learner is required to initiate the audio. I was hoping to have my audio synced with visuals, but this does not seem to be possible with this approach. I commend your brilliant workaround - I'm sure this is a HUGE help to many. I do feel strongly that this feature still needs to be added into the program, and hope it gets the attention it deserves in the near future and we don't have to wait many more years.
Hi Shane,
In fact this is quite default behaviour on browsers nowadays. That said... you can workaround that by using my workaround for the bigblackbutton in Storyline. Describing that one here...

Using this workaround your projects can start audio straight away... im not 100% certain this helps fix your issue, but i do think it might. If you can't get it working, do share a sample of your project and i see if i can.
