Videos not playing in published course. HELP!!
I am working on a course with lots of videos. Originally they were really blurry and so I've been having to use the work around I learned here. //www.screenr.com/NTHH
I published the course last...
It is most certainly on Google's end. What's interesting - to me - is that, since Articulate released that "patch" some time ago, I have not had an issue with auto-play of audio or video on any slide.
I create opening videos for our compliance training and every one of them works as designed. I've gotten into the habit of creating a popup and pausing the timeline on some opening screens of modules/courses, but the majority I do not.
I've worked these in Chrome and IE (our office still works with Windows 7) and have not had any issues with the auto-play function not working.
Wish I could offer more help or assistance on this issue.
I'm a public school teacher and my problem was that I was creating
educational lessons for teens, who have every kind of device imaginable.
They also have very low tolerance for things not working.
One little glitch and they tell their parent "The teacher's online lesson
doesn't work", then the parent gets on the horn complaining about
inadequate instructional materials and unrealistic expectations by the
teacher. All because the darn video wouldn't play automatically in the
particular browser of the particular device the kid was using.
I can see how these patches might work in a company, where adults are all
using identical devices.
I need a solution that plays video at the start for all devices... Because
frankly, if you're going to grab a kid's attention, a video clip at the
very start is ideal.
