Remove play button on html5 opening screen in Storyline 360
Is there a way of editing the code on one of the files to remove the big play button that appears on the opening screen of a mobile device accessing the html5 file? I've seen threads on how to do it...
Or anyone have an update on this? Is there code I can tweak in JS so the video on the start page will play across desktop and mobile?
When you have video or audio on a start page...most mobile devices will prevent autoplay. That's a default in most browsers and devices. A user interaction is needed to play it. Nothing to do with Storyline or Articulate. The big black play button and screen however are Articulate's solution to this. As you donot have audio or video on your first slide this should not be needed and the page/slide should show directly. Thats the solution mentioned above for. If you have video or audio on your first slide...well then there are several solutions to work around it not playing directly. One of the most common used is a static page as first page, that automatically goes to a second page where your video and /or audio then is.
Yes there is video on slide one. A static page didn't work, tried 30 combinations of triggers. Video will not auto play with either video autoplay set or triggers to play. Unless there is a trigger action on a preceding page or a play button no dice.
I can try some of my workarounds if you share the course.
That worked for me!
