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

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!

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.

seriously how does a simple feature like this take more than 4 years to get prioritized and done?

Morning All,
Little update from me regarding auto-play.
We ended up re-engineering majority of the content from Rise into Storyline, before adding the Storyline Blocks into Rise.
Despite the client requesting Auto-Play, it was very clear that this is an error with Rise.Due to having the Storyline content auto-play, the scroll bar would essentially activate several VO's at once, making the whole thing redundant. The client asked for auto-play to be removed.
Just a thought some may not have... thought of.
Maybe Articulate could develop something so only one content block can play at a time? - ManickavalliSumCommunity Member

Thanks KellyAuner
This feature will be the difference for continuing with a project created in Rise - some 18 months old - or starting again in Storyline. - OlliePotterCommunity Member
Please add me into this as well - would be a huge benefit to the software!
Hi DaisyPadilla and OlliePotter,
Thanks both for following up on this!
I've linked you to the request so we'll notify you if we have news to share.
