Variable Playback Speed

Hi folks,

I'd like my vote in for this as well. I think it's terrible that a feature like this isn't natively in the tools. You can increase the playback rate in most modern video and audio players.

Adding another vote for this feature. We have slides with audio files and objects animating in at different times using the Storyline timeline. Giving the learner at least the option to play 1.5/2x would be a great feature.

We have had several people request a playback speed change as well. This thread was created over 6 years ago, just how many responses is needed to get this feature added?

I would like to add my vote for this feature request please. Thanks!

Has there been any movement towards adding the playback speed feature in Storyline?

Hi, Samantha.

While I don't have a specific timeline for this feature, you can see in our feature roadmap that playback speed is part of the accessible video controls currently in development.

I hope this helps!

I completely agree with Robert. Variable playback for videos only won't be much help. I need it applied to the whole timeline. 

Agreed. We need it for the whole project.

Hello Everyone!

I'm happy to share that we have released Storyline 360 version 65 (Build 3.65.28121.0) today! 

Included in this release is an enhancement where all learners are enabled to interact with videos via accessible controls that match the modern player style, exceed color contrast guidelines, and communicate perfectly with screen readers. Learners can even change the playback speed, switch to full-screen mode, and use picture-in-picture mode to move videos to a floating window.

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!
