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 have successfully used this feature in the past, but am working on a course today and the background audio is not dimming when voice narration begins. I have adjusted the "lower background audio volume when slide plays" option to 99% and it is not making a difference. Is this functionality broken at the moment?
Hi Crystal!
It sounds like you hit a snag with the dimming of background audio in your Storyline 360 course. I'd be happy to assist with that!
Testing the behavior on my end (64-bit Storyline 360 version 3.83.31444.0 via Windows Parallels on a Mac M1) I can confirm the dimming is working as expected.
You mentioned setting the audio opacity to 99%. However, you would need to choose a lower number to notice the dimming behavior when voice narration begins. In the example I shared, I set the value to 10%.
If you're still running into trouble after changing that setting, I'd be happy to take a closer look at your .story file. Feel free to share a copy here in the discussion or privately through a support case.
