How to autoplay Rise audio
Hi,
I was in today's "What's New" meeting, and I love the AI audio updates!
How can we make the Rise audio play automatically, without the need for learners to click each play button?
Thank you.

There is no autoplay for the audio in Rise. You could potentially have multiple audio files showing on the screen at one time (or have loaded below the portion of the screen the learner is looking at) and if there was autoplay, they would overlap. That said, most modern web browsers do not allow for autoplay of audio for accessibility/user experience purposes.
Hi Elizabeth,
What update can you provide regarding adding the capability of audio autoplay being added to the Rise roadmap?I've noticed the capability in some other authoring tools, as well as Storyline, but it's still unavailable within Rise.
Any insight you can provide is greatly appreciated.
I don't work for Articulate so I have no update to provide you. :)
But one thing I am always curious about as a fellow user is how people expect this to work. An entire Rise lesson loads at one time -- what if there were multiple audio tracks in it? How would that work? I also wonder if, due to its vertical scrolling nature, learners expect Rise to work more like websites than they expect them to work like Storyline courses. Personally I hate when websites have audio that auto-plays (since I tend to have many tabs open at a time!) but maybe I am in the minority.
Hi ejones7777!
Glad to see Elizabeth has been helping you!
As she shared, Rise 360 currently does not support auto-play of media from a course. We are tracking a feature request to introduce this functionality to the tool. I've included your voice in that report!
We'll be sure to notify you if this enhancement makes it to our product roadmap.
Thank you! I look forward to the enhancement.
I am thankful that Storyline already has the functionality and will be thrilled when Rise catches up.
Have an excellent day.

It would be great to have such behavior. It could increase usability. I'm using quite a lot with a different software and it's appreciated from our learners.Hi Steven, What update can you provide regarding this capability of Rise audio autoplay being added to the roadmap?
Thanks!
Ive been reading about users begging for AutoPlay for Audio for at LEAST 6 YEARS! all of your excuses were countered by real life case studies explaining WHY Articulate is on the wrong side of this argument.
I understand the concern regarding accessibility (I've been hearing this response from Articulate for as long as I have been using Rise), but... This has been the ONLY issue limiting more widespread buy-in from many of my clients on using Rise versus another tool. It is too easy for learners to miss important audio and too cumbersome for them to have to locate and click each portion versus a seamless experience like what I am capable of providing in other tools. We have resorted to using third party tools and are looking at the feasibility of completely migrating away from Articulate because of this one issue, it's nuts!
Hi BBarker94, thanks for sharing your experience and workaround. I have some team members that use alternate software that gives them the capability.
Hopefully Articulate will update Rise's functionality, because the functionality already exists within Storyline.
