Hi, Kenneth.

The trigger "Play audio" will restart the audio after it completes or is stopped. So if your design allows, you could add a replay button with the following triggers:

  • Stop audio when the user clicks the replay_button
  • Play audio when the user clicks the replay_button

Here's an example:

Let me know if that helps!

    Hi Maria,

    I tried this, but when I click the replay button, nothing happens. Just curious if there is a simple way to add a 'restart media' feature to a button.

      Hi SebastianJ,

      Maria’s suggested trigger setup should normally restart the audio from the beginning:

      • Stop audio when the user clicks the replay button
      • Play audio when the user clicks the replay button

       

      If nothing is happening when you click the button, there may be something specific in the Storyline file affecting the behavior, such as the trigger order or how the audio is configured on the slide.

      If you’re comfortable sharing a copy of the Storyline file, either here or privately in a support case, we’d be happy to take a closer look at the setup with you.
