Thought bubbles gone in SL360?
FredGood: I've never been a fan of Storyline's speech and thought bubbles.
As an alternative, consider using a standard text box. Fill it with a picture of the bubble you want to use. In the Format Shape > Text Box window, adjust the Margins as needed to place the text in a good position.
Another option: Design the thought bubble in Storyline using multiple shapes. In the FORMAT ribbon, use the Merge Shapes > Union option to combine them into one shape. As with any shape, you can then double-click to start entering text directly into the shape. Again, adjust the Margins as needed.
FYI: DavidAnderson did a webinar about this:

Hi FredGood,
Sorry to hear that you're having trouble adding Caption Bubbles in Storyline.
These elements are still fully functional, and you shouldn't have to build them in other third-party tools.
- Here's a quick Peek showing the experience of adding caption bubbles via two different menu options.
Can you share more details on where specifically you're getting stuck? If you're comfortable sharing a screen recording of the behavior, feel free to include that here in the discussion or privately through a support case.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
