Do videos in Storyline 360 need to fully download before playing?
I was previously under the impression that videos would stream or start playing when enough data had buffered (making bitrate an important consideration).
At the bottom of this page it states that...
Hi Brett!
Storyline360 will preload the first slide so you can get started right away. The next three slides will automatically preload as well to avoid any delay when moving to the next slide. Assets for each slide download in the order of images, audio tracks, and videos, so if there is a heavy object, such as a video on the first slide or if the customer has a slow internet connection, this could possibly cause a delay.
However, in Storyline 1 and Storyline 2 HTML5 courses, videos don’t preload; they progressively download so they can begin playing as soon as possible.
I hope this helps!
Thanks,
Kelly
