Variable Playback Speed
We build our e-learning courses using Articulate Storyline. Recently, a number of our students have asked us if we can provide functionality of increasing the speed of the delivery, the provision that they have in Lynda courses and youtube videos.
So I was wondering there is a provision for the same in Articulate Storyline.
Thanks,

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 agree that this would be a great feature to have. It would be a nice way for a learner to control the speed at which they learn.
Hello Maria,
I don't want to speak for everyone, but as far as I can tell this thread is asking for variable playback of the whole timeline and not just videos.
Personally, variable playback for videos doesn't add anything and it is the ability to control the overall playback of the project that is important. This would cover the speed of the audio and video playback as well.
Thanks,
Rob
For a topic that has been going on for more than 5 years, I am a bit surprised by the lack of response from the Articulate people. Variable playback speed is used by all experienced e-learning users, so why not have it in the Articulate player?
John, this is quite frustrating. Both Math and I have posted workarounds to this video speed issue, and this has been requested for years by all sorts of clients here. Captivate has the Fluidic player now— when would we be able to see something like that for Storyline?
AGREE! We're also really looking forward to having this option!

The published Storyline output is not a video similar to YouTube, so varying the playback spped is not an option. You could add a seekbar to each slide that would allow users to fastforward through the content.
Hi Ben and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
Not sure how hard that would be either, but if this is something that you have a need/use-case for then I encourage you to share your thoughts with our team here.
Hi Leslie,
Are you able to find out if the developers have any plans to add this feature soon? A wonderful user just commented on this post that they would be willing to volunteer to code this functionality on their own time and share with the community. It's a shame it's come to this point, but just in case your team is actually working on this, I'd hate for this volunteer to waste their time. Thank you much!
Hi David,
The ability for the learner to speed up and/or slow down the audio or video playback is a feature that we are continuing to track.
This conversation is linked to the report so that we can share updates with you here and I also wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests.
I too am getting multiple requests from students for variable playback. Is such a feature is currently available or will be in the near future?
Hi Thomas and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
It is not a current feature available within our software at this time. We are tracking a feature request and this conversation is attached. We will pop in and share any updates with you here, but I do not have a timeframe at this time.
I would love to have a variable speed feature in Articulate.
temporary work around...
we could launch the video in a separate window with a .html file and use the features included by the recording tool we chose.Dave, would you be able to show us how you would do this? Or point me in the direction of a guide?
Thank you in advance!
