Remove title from the start screen
Is it possible to remove the title of the storyline project from the first screen - the one that is black with 'continue' and 'restart' buttons? Thanks.
I should have said - I'm talking about in Storyline 3 :)
Hey Susan!
Have you turned off the title in the player properties? Also, are you seeing this when you test the content on a mobile device or on a desktop computer?
Hi Alyssa, yes I turned off the title in player properties (just double checked!) and its when on a mobile device. My filenames are a bit obscure which is why I'd like to hide them. Thanks.
Ah, now I've got it! You're seeing the course title on the mobile Start screen before the first slide of the course is displayed. Thanks for clarifying that!
That title will appear by default, and there isn't a way to remove it. If you'd like to share your feedback with us on that, you can submit a feature request here!
Ok thanks - I'll submit a feature request. Thanks for your help :)
Alyssa, could you please reconfirm. Are you saying that no matter what publishing choices I make, my file name/title is going to be shown to the student before they begin a lesson? That this title is different from the title deselect in the player properties? Needless to say, having a file name presented to a student which will not make sense to them could cause confusion. This did not happen in SL1 or SL2. Thanks.
I did want to say that I do recognize that I can control this better by duplicating the title and simply having it show up twice in our LMS. The title that I specify will prevent SL from returning a file name. It just seems odd because we didn't have to do this before. Thanks.
Hi Rory,
Yes, that title is expected to show up in the top of the player as a part of the mobile start screen. This didn't happen in Storyline 1 or 2, as there was a different setup for how we loaded HTML5 output on Mobile. With Storyline 3 and 360 you'll now see it in the new responsive player.
We'll keep you posted if this changes, but in the meantime it sounds like using the duplicate title would be the best method.
Thanks Ashley. And just to be clear, this is showing up on desktop displays, not just mobile, when we publish to HTML5 only.
Thanks for clarifying, Rory. Do you have video or audio on the first slide of your course? You'll see the startup screen on a desktop display in that case as well. We added this launch screen to help solve problems caused by recent autoplay issues with some browsers.
Thanks again for sharing your duplicate title method!
Yes, we do! That solves the mystery. Thank you!
