How to add video and text side by side in Rise
I would like to build the text narrative to either the right or left of the video created in Peek instead of text only showing at the bottom. When the video starts, if the viewer doesn't have a headset or speakers, they will not be able to follow along with the video. Instead of having the text at the bottom, is there a way to display it either to the right or left of the video with the ability to scroll down either automatically or by the user?

Hi, I'm fairly new to Rise - I am trying to figure out if there is any other way to insert a small video in Rise. Approximately 300x300 pixels.
Side-by-side would be ideal, but if centered in a block I guess I could manage.I guess if this is crucial - I could create this in Storyline and add as a block...
Thanks Hi Ron!
We're tracking requests for this feature of displaying a video and text side-by-side in Rise. We'll keep this thread posted on updates that can help!
As discussed above, workarounds can be using Closed Captions in the Video block, or insert a Tabs or Accordion block which will display the text below the image. You can also create this in Storyline, and add this as an SL block in Rise.
Let me know if you have additional questions or clarifications!

Hello, I too would love to see a video and text layout block. I am aware that there are other options above, but would appreciate it if you would take this into serious consideration as an addition to Rise. Thank you!

Personally and specifically, the format of the Image & Text block would be great! One side is the video & the other is the picture, graph, chart, etc. Thanks!

Would also love to see this option. Constantly have to compromise with an image.

Agree video beside text would be great please team!

Please add my voice as another in favor of this feature to be added. Especially as one of the sample microlearnings has this showing to "click video to enlarge" (a gif is used instead of a full video).

This would be great

Would love to see this happen as well.

Hey Phil—is there a way to save that as a block template once it is created? We have someone on our team that could probably modify the code but we would want to use it in other courses. Or, do you have a block template I could use?
Thanks—Francesca

Francesca, unfortunately this has to be done to the exported course files, I don't have a way to do this within Rise in edit mode.
