How to Auto-play Audio Files in Rise 360

Hello - I have seen a variety of threads on this topic, however, the trail goes a little dry from 2 years ago.  

Is there a way to play audio automatically in Rise 360?

Requiring the action to start audio to view in tandem with content adds no value to the learner's experience and breaks the flow of the design.

I read that there was a challenge related to mobile responsiveness, but it would be great to know what considerations are being made, if any, to bring this highly requested enhancement to bear.

Thank you,

Joanna

  • Four years and still no fix. Autoplaying narration is like a fundamental, 101 thing. And I see the road map has an Asset Library on the map...we've been asking for that since launch. This tool is about to get replaced at my company because of the lack of true enhancements and more groveling to the AI features.

    Hello,
    Thank you in advance for your answer to this question.
    In RISE, when I add an audio multimedia resource, is there an option that allows me to set it to "auto play," i.e., in addition to other needs already mentioned in the community, to facilitate the production and use of inclusive teaching resources?

    I remember reading once that this feature would be on the Rise development roadmap. I may have missed this setting; if so, I'd appreciate your help.

    If it doesn't exist yet... do you have an estimated time of when it will be available?

      Hi jgferreira! Thanks for asking! Rise doesn’t currently have an option to auto-play audio when a lesson loads. We know this would make courses feel more seamless, and our product team is aware of the request. While we don’t have an ETA to share, we appreciate you adding your voice and helping show how valuable this feature would be!
