Playing Background music across all slides - Storyline 360
Hi all,
I know there have been a few threads on this but I can't seem to find a solution!
I'm creating a project which I need audio for, but I would like the audio to run throughout the whole p...
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!
The solution is the same and works the same for both Web and LMS publishing options. :-)
Thank you so much!! I will try this!!

[logo]Hi Owen,
I wanted to update you on something. Whichever solution works by playing background audio no longer works with the latest Google Chrome browser! Which is my company’s default browser! My IT dept worked on this for me and they could get your solution to work in Firefox but not Chrome. Apparently Chrome now blocks background audio!
So, I wasn’t quite as inept as I thought! 😉

Hi Owen,
To be clear, I honestly can’t say which solution my IT could not get to work in Google Chrome, but they also said there was chatter about it in a Google Forum as well. Regardless, I’ll keep trying and hopefully one day soon these work-arounds will be moot.
Thanks again!
