We’ve got news that we think will be music to your ears—you can now add background audio to your Storyline 360 courses! Thanks to this highly requested feature you can set the right tone for your training and keep learners engaged by adding a list of audio tracks that play in the background. And to give learners control over the experience and ensure it’s optimal for everyone, they can toggle background audio on and off as needed. Check out this article to learn more about this new feature: Storyline 360: Background Audio.

Hi Dusti,

I'm not sure how helpful this will be, but I have been using another program to lower the volume level of the music file itself (I use Camtasia, but there are many other programs that can add an audio compression effect to media), so when I add the edited music file to my Storyline file, it's at a suitable volume level for use as course-wide background music. I suppose it will depend on personal preference and the volume the music file was originally at, but I use a 40–50% audio compression and then adjust the background music setting (to lower volume during narration) on Storyline to 85%.

Hi everyone!

Good news! I'm happy to share that we just released Storyline 360 (Build 3.81.31200.0), which includes a feature to control the background audio for each slide using triggers to play, pause, or stop the playlist.

This was highly requested, so we hope it serves you in your course creation! If you run into any snags, don't hesitate to contact our team in a support case.

I need this too. I want looping audio throughout, don't have any narration, but there is no way to adjust the audio. It's so loud that I can't use it. Surely, there will be an option to adjust overall volume of overall background audio? I'm not using the player but buttons for manual user movement for slides.
