Variable Playback Speed

Hello Everyone!
I'm happy to share that we have released Storyline 360 version 72 (Build 3.72.29654.0).
Included in this release is a new feature where you can let learners explore at their own pace by choosing a course playback speed between 0.25x and 2x.
Now all you need to do is update Storyline 360 in your Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let us know if you have any questions by reaching out to our Support Engineers directly.
Have a great day!
I think this should be viewed as two different tasks: enabling variable playback speed for audio (i.e. the whole Storyline e-learning) and enabling it for embedded video.
Variable playback speed is now standard for video. These days, it seems that almost nobody views a video at normal speed unless their viewing the video for entertainment. Rise has variable playback speed for embedded video, Articulate Review has it, why doesn't Storyline? It would seem that Articulate is behind the curve there.
Enabling variable playback speed for the audio, or for the whole e-learning itself, seems to be a much bigger ask. I haven't seen such capability in other eLearning tools.
If the embedded video has variable playback, then that could also be a valid option for those who want to speed up the whole eLearning. People could publish their Storyline content as video and then embed that video in the Storyline slide or slides, thereby providing a similar experience than if the audio could be sped up.
So I think the first priority, and probably the less difficult ask, is to provide variable playback speed for the embedded video in Storyline.
