Embedded audio to Storyline

Hello everyone, 

I am a Storyline beginner, I would like to embed my comments in audio format to a storyline course presentation. This audio should run with animation and content changes. I appreciate tips on how to integrate my audio to my presentation. 

Thank you

  • Hi Hamza, and welcome to the E-Learning Heroes Community! So happy you're here! ✨

    I'd love to help you get started incorporating audio into your Storyline project!

    Just to clarify, when you say embed comments in audio format, do you mean incorporating your comments into a notes tab/transcript and inserting audio on each slide?

    If so, I'd recommend our text-to-speech function if you do not currently have audio files ready to go. 

    Here is a quick Peek where I walk you through how to add this into your project. 

    Please let me know if this helps! 

    Additionally, I understand you're new to our products. You're in the right spot!

    I just wanted to invite you to our tips and tricks webinars as well. At 11am ET every Thursday, our training team hops on a live call to answer top questions from our customers. This is a great way to learn new skills!

    Hi Luciana,

    I have created a slide with an audio and animations. I would like the audio to start when the user clicks play. However, it does it automatically when the user arrives to the slide. How can I change that?

    Thanks,

    Ana

     

  • Hi Patricia,

    Great question! I would love to help you out with this! When you add audio to a slide it will automatically play when the slide appears. To have the audio start when the user clicks play you need can create a button that has a "Play media" trigger associated with it. Here is a Peek video of how I created one of my own.

    Also, here are a couple of articles all about triggers and working with them.

    I hope this helps you out and welcome to E-Learning Heroes!
