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!
DVD players have had variable playback speeds for the last probably 15-20 years, podcasts have had it for a decade, YouTube, LinkedIn Learning...
Articulate, it's embarrassing you're not there yet.
I would like to also add my support for this feature request. As a learner, I almost ALWAYS speed up online courses to 1.5-2x speed and I'm extremely disappointed that Storyline360 doesn't have this feature, which is a staple of any modern e-learning course.
Now that I'm in a position where I'm actually building e-learning content, I feel that I'm wasting my learners time because I can't offer them a faster playback option.
I would STRONGLY recommend that Articulate figure this out -- it simply isn't representative of the otherwise extremely modern tools that Storyline brings to e-learning authoring.
Can a Articulate staff member confirm whether or not this feature was requested for storyline? Are we able to vote on that feature? It has been requested by our end users as well. Thanks!
Hello Matthew, and welcome to E-Learning Heroes. 😊
I can confirm that the feature request discussed here is specific to Storyline. The specific request is for learners to have the ability to speed up/slow down audio and video playback.
We have this conversation linked to the request, so commenting here counts as your vote, and we will be able to share any updates with you here as well.
Plz develop this feature
+1 for this feature.
There are two clear use cases for students:
1. Those that like to run through things quickly (as mentioned in earlier comments)
2. People who are taking a course in a different language and may need the audio slower
I have regular requests from both of these audiences.
I would also support this feature being implemented
We really need this feature. +1
Adding my vote for this feature as well. We have non-interactive videos hosted on a platform that supports different playback speeds and as we add interactive content it's going to be a glaring difference between the content types.
I include my vote for video and audio speed playback variability.
