Variable Playback Speed

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?

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!

This is good, but when will we see integrated video + timeline speed controls? I've published a kludgy way of handling the video speeds here, but it works outside the timeline. People have been asking for this for years.

I hope that this is only a step towards variable playback speed for the whole project as this is of very limited use to us (we generally host our videos outside of the Storyline project).

It also makes the lack of overall playback speed more jarring to learners when they can control the playback speed of the videos but not the overall training.

Adding my vote to this request as well!  

Hi Kevin, 

You'll need to enable the video controls for your video to access the new features. 

Hope this helps!

@JoeTansengco will this feature be set at the Shoryline Player Properties level?
Its awesome! that its finally added but its so hidden.

Hi Fernando,

Thanks for your input on moving the video controls to the Storyline player properties! Currently, there are no plans to make that change. I'll be happy to pass your thoughts on to our product team, but you can also feel free to detail them in a feature request.

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?

Hi, I would like to change the playback speed for training because a slide includes important information and Brian reads the text too fast. 

Thanks
