Rise - Disable forward seeking in AUDIO
All,
Is there a function that will disable forward seeking for AUDIO files? This function is available for video and is a useful tool, and it would be equally beneficial for audio.
If not, are there any plans to add this function to Rise?
Thank you.
Hello everyone!
I’m excited to share that we've released a new Rise 360 update that includes:
There’s nothing to install for web-based apps. New features and fixes are immediately available!
Please let us know if you need any additional help!

Hey David!
Thanks for letting us know you have a need to disable forward seeking in audio! While that's not a feature at this time, it's one I can share with our team for consideration.
Thank you. It seems only logical to implement this. The video restriction exists because, presumably, there is something you are requiring your student to see. In the case of audio, there may be something you are requiring your student to hear, so they should not have the option to fast forward past it.
During the testing and QAQC for the training I'm developing, this was pointed out repeatedly by my testers.
Hi Alyssa,
Is there any news about audio restrictions?
Thanks!Hi Francesco,
We don't have any updates to share at this time, but be sure to stay tuned to our What's New page to find out about the latest features.
I already submitted a feature request also for this to make users listen to the audio before being able to move forward.
I thought I would be clever by creating a video file that was 1280px wide and 1px high and the video was a white background only but when I import it into Rise it shows the window at 16:9 ratio anyway. It would also be an idea to be able to change the video dimensions also if Audio Forward seeking is not an adjustable option.
Is this feature going to be implemented anytime soon?
Hi there, Sara. We are tracking this feature request, but it isn't on the immediate roadmap. We'll let you know if that changes.
How has this been an ongoing discussion for 2 years? I'm surprised this issue has not been addressed as it's a standard feature for video on RISE and Articulate. Can we get some clarity as to why this hasn't been implemented, or if there is even a plan to do so in the short term?
Hi, Grant. We don't have this enhancement on our roadmap right now. We evaluate requests alongside other projects, such as bug fixes and other new features. Once a feature makes the cut, we add it to our roadmap for development and testing. We'll post any changes around the audio block here!
In case it is helpful, because we publish courses with some audio blocks that are important for learners to hear, I concur with the need to restrict fast forwarding of audio tracks.
Roadmap request, roadmap request, road map request! Can I scream voting this option in like Dorothy in Wizard of Oz saying there's no place like home, because wow we really really need this feature. Audio is being skipped over on our safety presentations and sadly I can't keep everyone honest without the restricting in place!
Disabling the learner's ability to scrub forward on audio would be very helpful. In mandatory education such as compliance, information security, HIPAA, etc. we should be able to lock that. I hope you will consider moving this up the priority list. I echo the comment above about engineering honesty into our presentations.
Please add this feature to the roadmap request and implement it soon... it already took 3years thinking about it.
