Storyline Block with Audio issue

The SL block I've added to my Rise file is playing automatically, not only in Review 360 but when published as an LMS. It starts playing as soon as you open the module (even though it is the last block in the course). Could it be a setting in my SL file?

  • Hello Korey,

    I'm happy to help! Storyline blocks play automatically by design on desktops and laptops, but browser restrictions can prevent this when the first slide has audio or a video. You can prevent Storyline blocks from autoplaying using the following methods.

    If your Storyline block doesn't have audio or a video on the first slide, create a custom play button to start the course. You can also use a dialog layer to pause your slide. If your Storyline block has audio or starts with a video, the built-in play button will show in some browsers. If the play button does not appear, insert a blank slide with a play button as your first slide.

    Check out the article below for detailed steps on how to achieve these.

    Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have additional questions.
