Hi Tom and Derek,
I have some great news to share. We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 86, we’ve included important fixes and new features.
One of the new features we’ve included:
- Position captions at the top or bottom of the slide to ensure closed caption visibility and prevent the obstruction of critical course content.
Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You’ll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Hello, Tom,
You can adjust the font of your captions through the player options. On your project, just click on "Home" then "Player". From there, click on "Colors & Effects" button to see the options for adjusting player font.
I am playing with it a bit more to see if I can create a trigger that will automatically change the variables for the player font depending on the device used by the learner. I'll post again if I find something. Meanwhile, you might find this article useful.
Thank you for that tip! The caption font is definitely helpful, and the article you highlighted is a good workaround for changing font size.
But it is definitely an issue that presents itself on mobile, that if I were to adjust font size to solve this issue, it would make it almost unreadably small on desktop.Unfortunately, adjusting caption position (or being able to customize font behavior between mobile and desktop) are likely the only solutions that would work and are currently not possible.
