    Hi Everyone!

    Happy to share that we've just released a new update for Storyline 360!

    In Build 3.105.35604.0 we’ve included essential fixes and new features. One of the bugs we’ve fixed is:

    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 us know if you have any questions about this update, or the issue you reported!

This is a nice addition, thanks! I'd like to know if there's a way to force closed captions to be switched on by default in the player? Right now, with the CC option available in the player, the learner has to click it to switch them on

Hi Scott, did someone answer you yet? There is a project variable that is called "Player.DisplayCaptions". To turn the CC on, you can set a trigger on the very first slide of your project that changes the variable "Player.DisplayCaptions" to "true" :)
