Custom scenario scene background image in RiSE
I eould like to upload a custom background image for my scenarios on Rise 360 What are the required dimensions and file size?
Hi there, Adam. When uploading or choosing an image for scenario backgrounds, we recommend using high quality “landscape” rather than “portrait” images. Other than that, there are no restrictions on dimensions as long as your image file is under 5 GB.

Thank you for replying to my issue. I am taking pictures of background s on my phone. Would that suffice? When I go to insert an image Rise will not allow me to select the photos. I have included the photos I would like to use for backgrounds in my scenarios. Thank you in advance.

I'm guessing Rise doesn't support the HEIC format, or at least doesn't let you upload such files.
You could chuck your images into a converter to easily turn them into JPGs. Should work fine then.

Thank you Sam for the link to the image converter. This method worked perfectly!!
Great to hear it, Adam! Thanks for the update.

Is there a way to unblur the background?
Hi Nancy!
The scenario block background has a blurred effect to draw the learner's attention to the character and the scenario text. I'll let our team know you'd like the option to unblur the background!

Ditto for the unblurred background. Needing that right now and not able to make it happen.
Thanks.

I'd love to have an unblurred feature as well and something else. I'd like the ability to remove the character in a discussion. and here's why. I'd like to replicate an online scenario between a website visitor and a bot..... so my "background" will be an ipad (not blurred) and the conversation will fit over the ipad, to look like it was on the ipad. Something like this... but without the character.....
Hi Brian! What you've described sounds like the perfect opportunity to use a Storyline Block!
Check out this template for inspiration: Gamified Texting Template

The Inspiration worked for the immediate need. Thank you, so much for the quick response. But as a Rise scenario is already built and ready to go it would be nice, for the future, to have this as a feature. You could perhaps have an ipad template scenario, and an iphone template scenario to use if you wanted to.... Just a thought if the development team have got nothing else to do... :+)
