Videos to Automatically Play in Rise
In the context of many eLearning applications, autoplaying videos is strictly a user convenience. My users are visiting my training courses for express purpose of consuming the content - it is not an unwanted piece of media running in the background.
Imagine visiting a YouTube video which required you to manually click to play.
If I set a video as the sole focus of a section, users should not have to click the video to initiate the content - in this case it becomes an extra useless click. Sub-optimal interactions like these will inevitably reduce the perceived quality of the production.
As Cass demonstrated above, there are ways to achieve this with embedded third party players. Until Articulate understands this need, we'll just need to use those as a workaround.
I agree, but you have to think of your audience...which mine wants it to play with no clicks. Of course I can always create a SL course and embed it in Rise, but when there is only so much time to roll out this feature would be nice. And you can always have the videos/audio on mute like FB and IG. Until you click on the video it will play without sound now. Making progress!
@Derick Young, I have tried to do as you mentioned, and embed a SL file (video set to autoplay), but it still does not autoplay in Rise. What am I missing?
Hi Rhea - Did you find a solution?
