How can I make a background music play continuously across multiple slides/layers?

Hello all, 

I want to insert a background music to multiple slides. These slides will automatically play without showing the "Previous""Next"button, so I wish the music track could continuously play through these slides without being cut off. 

Is that possible to do that?

Or if not, is there a way to fade in/out the music at the beginning and end of each slide?

  • Hi everyone!

    I have some great news to share. We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 74, we've included important fixes and new features.

    One of the new features we've included is: 

    • Create immersive experiences with continuous background audio that sets the tone and keeps learners engaged.

    Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.

    Please let me know if you have questions!

    I feel as a general rule that products like this should start with what Powerpoint can do, and build upon that. I am having this issue now as well, after coming back to give Storyline a try again. It has been YEARS and this is still not possible in Storyline? This seems like just a basic requirement to me, and I am really bummed this STILL isn't incorporated. Especially now that we have 360 versions which we pay for forever so they are "always up top date".
