How to make SL360 courses embedded in Rise start without the "play" screen for tablets?
Hi-
I'm building a Rise course that is primarily to be used on a tablet. We have several SL360 interactions embedded throughout and it bothers me that they default to the black screen with the pla...
Hi Logan,
There are probably a few ways to do this, but here are our favorite ways.
One way is to actually have the first slide in Storyline have zero audio/video (that way there's no play button) and we put a button on the first slide that jumps them to the slide that starts the audio/video. I've attached an example of the .story file we put into this sample project: https://rise.articulate.com/share/mUq7mwQV-ukKUSvNmFKG8Kj3_Xl5fTvy#/lessons/WCCL7rWdrjvTcvmEnJP_KhDrDRTTeXkE

I hope that helps!
Hi Stefanie-
Thanks for the suggestions! There is no audio or video on the first slide of the SL360 interactions - just static images/text. I think the "play" screen appears to be normal behavior when viewed on mobile devices, but I don't know why that has to be the case.
I'll give the thumbnail option a try, but I still would like to avoid the user from having to click the "play" button to start things - it's one more (unnecessary) click!
Thanks,
Logan
