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?

Would also love to see this option. Constantly have to compromise with an image.
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!
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!
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!
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...
ThanksHi Todd,
I appreciate you taking the time to share what you’d like to see in Rise 360! We currently have a feature request logged for a video and text layout block, so I’ll go ahead and include your voice. We’ll update this discussion if this feature makes it on our feature roadmap!
Thank you Kelly. I am working on a project that conveys 3 ways for customer service reps to say specific phrases to the customer as well. I didn't want the learner to have to read the information but hear it. I thought it would be great if I could use the 3-column grid for small, short videos or audio buttons could layout side by side. If that's lower hanging fruit for the developers (since the structure is there, just not the media options), that would be another great addition. Thanks!
Yes, this would be a very beneficial feature to have, can you please add?
Would also love to see this!
Looking for the same - text next to video.
Gavin, thanks for the tip. We will use a tab for now but would prefer side-by-side so text and video carry similar weight on the page.
I would really love to see this as well! I thought I saw a screen short recording used in the Text & Image block once but cannot find it. Is there anyway to do something like that with a small video/screen recording?
