Videos to Automatically Play in Rise
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!
Hi there,
We've shied away from auto-playing audio and video because it's really non-standard on mobile devices. In fact, most phone browsers actually prevent auto-play of media; it needs to be user-initiated.
I appreciate you chiming in with what you'd like to see, since the ideas shared here in E-Learning Heroes contribute to our product roadmap.
We're still monitoring these requests as we consider what features to add to Rise in the future. You're in the right place to stay up to date!
In the meantime, if there's anything else I can do to help, please let me know!
Totally agree with you Ted. Rise - and Storyline - Modules are exactly that, Modules, NOT surfing the internet. In the case of surfing the internet, there are several sites that have video (or video-like) splash screens; I have no issue with that and, with today's internet speeds, they really are not detrimental to the overall use or navigation of the site.
However, I can see where they would become a pain in the - uh - butt, like on Facebook. Thus, the option to "deactivate" the autoplay feature. But, not offering one - especially in Rise - is a little frustrating. I am looking at and trying several suggestions, all to no avail. I am hoping to find a fix or workaround this as having an opening video "banner" play automatically when one of my users opens a Course greatly enhances the experience and immediately gets them engaged.
I agree with everyone here who says videos and audio should have an autoplay feature. We're paying for this service, at least give us the right to choose.
I agree with you Ted
Agreed. And some of my clients want a standard intro or logo animation to play before the course starts.
I 100% agree with this!
