Software Simulation from a Shared Screen-Try Mode doesn't work
Yesterday my SME shared her screen for a software simulation, which I captured using Storyline. It worked fine when replayed as a video on a single slide; however, when changing to the Try Mode, SL didn't break the steps down into individual slides as it does when I capture a process from my own computer.
Has anyone else encountered this situation? Is there a solution or workaround? Thank you for any input.
Hello Mary,
The 'Try Mode' option when inserting a screen recording will only work if the screen recording was done on your computer. Recording a screen sharing session won't work because Storyline 360 has to recognize the inputs entered on your keyboard and mouse to generate the 'Try Mode' slides.
Here's a guide on how to insert Try Mode Step-by-Step Slides from a screencast.
You'll need to record yourself making the keyboard inputs and mouse clicks on your screen in order to properly generate the 'Try Mode' slides.
Hope this helps!
Thank you!
