Videos to Automatically Play in Rise

Hello.   There is not a way to do this within Rise.  This is an intentional non-feature.  Also, think about when you are surfing the internet and videos autoplay, it is annoying.

Here is a post about why:

I think there should be an auto-play feature. True, it might be annoying when surfing the internet and something plays automatically, but our employees are not surfing the internet when they open a  Rise training they are there to view the training! And a video that launches when that section is reached, definitely adds more impact than having to launch it manually. I think many would agree!

Autoplay inside of a SCORM course running inside of an LMS should REALLY have the option to autoplay anything the content creators choose.  We shouldn't be held host behind people who complain to Google about you-tube videos.  This is clearly not the same thing.  Trying to create professional, quality eLearning is dependent on having the flexibility to create.  Please change this policy and allow autoplay in Rise and also autoplay of storyline blocks when put into Rise. 

Thanks for chiming into the conversation and sharing your feedback, Susan and James. 

For storytelling purposes we should be able to autoplay (and autostop :)). 

Try this on a desktop. Scroll down to the video. This was created for my ATD ICE session two years ago. The purpose was to have this running on its own as people are coming to the session.

I agree that autoplay should be an option, just as it is in Storyline. For some videos, having a play button is great, but there are many situations where I would want and need content to automatically play. This applies to audio as well. I feel like the developer should be able to decide. I hope this is something Articulate looks into in the future for Rise courses.  

Our team utilizes Wisita as a video hosting platform. Wistia offers the granularity in video setup/staging we desire. There's a bevy of options for email campaigns, use as a light-box video on WordPress pages we develop, and other embed format types. Thumbnails can be actual video snippets (you define time frame), a custom image, or image pulled from a particular point in the video itself. Also, the autoplay can be defined to loop, or stop at a certain point.

Here's an example of one of our videos embedded into Rise with the autoplay feature configured.
Edit: I've changed the settings to mute the audio upon autoplay to spare headphone users and those in an open office from hearing some marketing-esque verbiage/music out of the gate. :)

We need the option to autoplay. These are training courses not folks browsing the internet.

Hi, Allison! I'm going to add my voice here, too. We really need the ability to auto-play, auto-stop, loop, etc. videos within the course. I can think of multiple use cases where this would be extremely helpful to both me and the learners taking my course - particularly having video auto-start/stop when it comes in/out of view on the page.

I completely agree! Personally, I don't think it is annoying when videos autoplay. This is really a creative disagreement. But the point is that you (Adobe creators) don't gain anything by limiting creativity...which is what you are doing by purposefully making "non-features." For example, having video backgrounds is very much the new trend in polished presentations. I think limiting creativity in this way goes against your mission.
