Play audio across all slides
Hello, I am hoping someone can help me. Is it possible to have an audio file play across all slides in Storyline 360 without it starting and stopping? And if so, how?
Hi everyone!
I have some great news to share. We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 74, we've included important fixes and new features.
One of the new features we've included is:
- Create immersive experiences with continuous background audio that sets the tone and keeps learners engaged.
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 questions!
Hi Math,
I have never worked with JavaScript before. I did see some other post that didn't make sense to me. You sharing your example makes it a bit more clear on the triggers.
One question, so all I have to do is place the file in resources and then reference it in the Triggers?
I slightly changed the previous Storyline file to make it as easy as possible for not-experienced Javascripters to get this working. I removed the timer that was in the previous one, because that one is not needed for playing background audio. And i changed the code so now you only need to do 2 things to get background audio working properly.
- Replace the audiofile in the resources.
- Change the variable 'audioFile' into the name of your audiofile.
And then all works.
Kind regards,
Math
If we add the file to Resources so it can play, do we need to display the Reference link at the top right? (checked off in the Player)?
Here i explain it step by step.

No you donot need to see the resources. It is set in a hidden slide.Thanks!
I am having issues though, music is not being played.
Could it be due to the other trigger in the button?
