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 in Storyline. I tried adding the audio to each individual slide, but then whenever the user clicks on a different part of the Engage module the audio would simply restart. Is there any solution to this?
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.

Hi Katie,
I see where you reached out here as well and I've just replied.
Just wanted to share for anyone following along.
Hi,
I was looking for this same feature; to add background music to my entire course. I found this article; https://www.swiftelearningservices.com/how-to-play-background-music-continuously-throughout-the-course-in-articulate-storyline-2/
Pls, check it out. I hope it helps.
Thanks

Dear Storyline Staff,
This feature has been requested for YEARS. Could you please make a STRONG SUGGESTION to your development team to prioritize this?Thank you.
Yes! We are currently publishing out to MP4 and dropping audio behind our "movies" but it would be great to have the ability to do this straight out of Storyline!
Is there any update on this feature being available in Storyline 360? We have recently purchased a license and continuous background music across all content is something we would use with a lot.
Based on everyone's comments it seems like this would be a beneficial addition to courses! I'm happy to follow up with our team to determine the progress of this feature request.
This would be great especially if the audio could be heard in Review 360 rather than having to publish to an LMS to hear the audio. Doing this means you loose out on all the cool Review 360 features.
I agree too I want to add a SL Block to RIse with continuous background music as well.
Checking in to see if there has been any progress in getting this background audio feature added?
Hi Angela,
This has not bubbled up to the top of the request pile at this time, but I did want to share a resource with you where you can see some of the upcoming items:
Articulate 360 Feature Roadmap
In addition, this is still on our radar, and this conversation is attached so that we can share any updates with you here in the future.
I've been eagerly awaiting this update - I check in regularly to see if Articulate is getting any closer to making this an option (folks have been requesting it for years). Is there anything that can be done to have this request more seriously considered?
