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!

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?
Hi Zi,
My method works if there are single videos on a single slide at a time. I wouldn't edit the code at the point in your screen shot. You need to go to the variable panel and set the numberOfVideos variable to 2. Keep in mind that you have to total ALL videos in the course. Perhaps I should have named this variable totalNumberOfVideos, and this would have described what it needs to be in a better way — but I try to keep my variable naming length down to a dozen or so characters for the most part.
I think your screen shot has pointed out something to me that I should probably clean up. It doesn't hurt how this works, it's just some extra code that doesn't really need to be there. Thanks for that!
Vote emphatically for YES here too and as urgently as possible too!
For videos this is already on the roadmap
That's nice that they'll be adding that functionality for videos within a course, but I think most of us are hoping for variable playback speed for the entire course.
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!
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
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.
This discussion thread has a history of 6 years and still, this feature is yet to implement! with no clear visibility of when we will have it. Wow.
Yeah, Parashuram, I can't tell if they don't want to do it, or if they are unable to do it...
