Stop auto-play in embedded video - Rise
I have three iframe embedded videos, one on each tab of an interactive tabs block in Rise. During testing, once the section is loaded/displayed on the screen, all three videos start playing at the same time. Is there something I can do to stop this auto-playing? Thanks!

Hello! It is 11/22 and I continue to have this problem. It appears there is a glitch in Rise that is causing some lessons with several videos to auto-play. I copied the lesson and it was working for a while, but now the glitch is back. Any help?
Hi there, Kelsey. I see that you were working with Matthew from my team on troubleshooting this behavior. Thanks for sharing your unique details!
You can still reply back to him if you're continuing to have trouble.
Hi - Has this been resolved and how? I have a Rise course with many videos - VYond videos, inserted in StoryLine, published to Review 360 and added as an Articulate block to my Rise course. As soon as I access the lesson, all videos in the lesson start to auto play. Should I be including the videos in a different way? As others have pposted, this only appears once published to the LMS. Please help!
So frustrating - if there is not a way to make this work, I will have to rebuild my courses in another application. :(
Hi there, Erin. Are you adding the video in Storyline to make sure folks view the entire video? If not, are you able to add it directly to your Rise 360 lesson using the embed block?
We'd love to have a look at your actual project files to give you some personalized help. Feel free to share with us privately by using this link.
Thanks for your reply. I have been out of the office for family.
Unfortunately, I just don't have time to do a back and forth with this issue anymore. I am so disappointed with Articulate that you have still not adressed this issue globally, rather than as a one-off situation each time a user expresses the need for a solution. This has been going on for ages. Sadly, I will implement my own work around by adding a slide in the SL file so the user clicks play.
Come on - get with it! With so many users needing this fixed, prioritize.
Hi,
have you tried using a "sandbox"? That seemed to solve the problem on my project:
<iframe src="myurl.com/myvideo.mp4" allowfullscreen sandbox></iframe>
sandbox - blocks all scripts and automations for the iframe-content
allowfullscreen - enables optional fullscreen
Found it here: html - How to disable auto-play for local video in iframe - Stack Overflow
Sandbox-documentation: HTML iframe sandbox Attribute (w3schools.com)I would also like to know how to stop auto play on audio/videos in Rise that were built in Storyline. There has to be a solution to this issue.
Thanks
Looks like a work around to a video/audio created in SL from automatically playing in Rise is to add slide that has the user click play. I just created something like this:
Your posts appeared after I posted mine below, I missed them somehow! I'll take a look at your workaround. Thanks for sharing!!
Here we are in 2023, and I am having this issue as well! Embedded video (actually a narrated piece embedded as a SL block) plays as soon as the page loads, even though it's 3/4 down the page.
It does not do that in Review 360, FYI, only in the LMS.
Please tell me there's a solution!Having this issue as well and adding a Continue button ruins the look and feel of the end product.
Has there been any other solutions developed?
I resorted to using the tip another User wrote about by adding a "play" slide to front of all my storyline projects being brought into RISE. Again not ideal, but a much better option than the "continue" button.
Hopefully this is seriously looked at resolving with the new Rise features being added in the future.
You know, I get that this maybe wasn't a priority for you, but you think it could have been addressed in four years. I've pretty much stopped using Rise unless I really need to.
Yup... this is some real professionalism. I need to get on a zoom meeting because this is unacceptable. My company should be compensated for the time wasted spent on this product that can't be used.
The continue divider doesn't even show up in the LMS version. WTF. This is ridiculous... 3 - 4 years later still an issue and my company is paying for a license and I can't even use this product!
