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?

    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?

  • Thanks for that suggestion, Gavin! While that's not on the roadmap right now, we'll let you know if we add a side-by-side text & video block in the future!

  • Alyssa, one can choose either image or video in the "accordian" and "tabs" blocks - extending this useful option to the "image and text" block would be an excellent idea.  I found this thread looking to see if such a thing was possible.  If it's not on the roadmap, is there a feature suggestion mechanism we can use?  

  • Hi Osbia! While there isn't a way to add text to the right or left of a video in Rise 360, you can add closed captions to the video! This way, learners can turn on the closed captions if they don't have a headset or speakers to hear the video's audio.
