Playing Background music across all slides - Storyline 360
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!
Hey Leslie, there is nothing wrong with your code, rather it appears to be a problem with the order of your triggers.
Currently, when you click the "play" button, the actions are in the following order:
- Jump to next slide
- Execute JS.
Because the first action jumps to the next slide, the JavaScript does not get executed.
Simply move the Execute JavaScript into the first position so that it executes first and you should be good to go.
2 more things to note.
- Users will not be able to play a song from your desktop. Be sure your song is hosted somewhere that they can stream it from. I didn't have access to your song, so in my published example, I'm streaming one from Music Catalog | Stock Music | Soundstripe
- 50% volume is quite loud for background music. In my example linked below, I've dropped it all the way down to 5%. (.05 value in the code).
I hope this helps!

Hi Owen,
Wow, that is so helpful! Thank you so much! I always forget to check the order of my triggers and it was late working on this last night. I got it to work!
Congratulations!
