Timeline starts on Slide 2 but Media does not when published
I have tried a number of solutions from other discussion threads without luck.
This was not an issue when slide 2 was slide 1, however when the project was opened it would start with a play button...
Hi, Amanda, and welcome to E-Learning Heroes! ✨
Thank you for sharing your .story file!
Some modern browsers no longer allow audio to autoplay. If you have audio on the first slide or set it to advance automatically (which is the case), the browser will expect the user to click.
Here is the workaround:
- Set the first slide (or the slide that comes before the one with the audio) to advance only when learners click a button or interact with it in some way.
Since you left the Next button on your first slide, you can see that the audio will play as expected if the user clicks that button before the timeline ends.
Let me know if this helps!
