Possibility to Add video to Rise Home Screen
I have been running google analytics on our rise courses and there is a severe drop off from people who don't even click the button to start the course. We are wondering if there is a way to add a video instead of the written course description to get potential clients to excited to watch the presentation. If there was a way to skip the intro screen and start them on the first page of the presentation that would be even better. Forcing people to click "start" seems to be a big hurdle and having one less step can make all the difference.

what's your opinion? Is this what you want?

@Admed, I like what you have done with the intro screen. Can you share how you added that video in the course introduction screen?

Short video clips can be edited into gif format and uploaded as starting images.

Hi Payal
As Jack clarified, you can convert your video into GIf format but by this way you will lose the voice or video's sound also the quality will be affected.
So I prefer to add it as video (Not Gif) and this is possible by JS - AmeliaEdwardsCommunity Member
Hi team,
Is there an update to this request, has this been added to the roadmap?
Adding the functionality of embedding a video on the welcome/start screen.
As we need to show our learners how to interact and navigate around the Rise course, because it's a new format we're using.
Many thanks,
Amelia

Hi Amelia,
I believe there isn't update through articulate rise itself, however I made this option using JavaScript, and you can check it through this demo: Demo Link

That is Amazing Ahmed!
I need to look at JavaScript tuts now as I am not familiar, would appreciate any pointers, since the code is just outputting as text on the main page. Good to know this is achievable :)
