Narration in Rise
Hey folks! Thanks so much for sharing your need for audio to play automatically in Rise 360. Here’s an update on our plans for this feature.
Web browsers are moving towards stricter auto-play policies in order to improve the user experience. We agree that requiring some kind of action from the user, such as clicking a button before playing audio, is the right approach to ensure a unified experience for all learners. To that end, we won’t be adding any auto-play features to Rise 360. However, we are looking at ways we may be able to provide narration features that don’t auto-play.
I respectfully disagree that having users click a button to hear audio (click-click-bling-bling) is a positive unified experience. Having audio play automatically would be. My company continues to consider Rise for elearning due to the fast turnaround time, but without audio, designers go elsewhere and spend much much more money and resources than necessary. No audio continues to be a hard sell to customers. Please reconsider the wave of requests!
