Videos to Automatically Play in Rise
I came here to find out how to autoplay a video and just read this discussion. After I left this page, I found another reference to animated gifs, which is what I had created. I was just using the wrong terminology. I added the animated gif and it immediately began playing! BTW - I created the animated gif in SnagIt - very easy!
Awesome, Roger. Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome. After adding several animated gifs to a course, the feedback I got from users was they found the auto-loop distracting and even annoying. I agreed with them. The gif repeats continually. So what I did was, I added 10-15 seconds of no motion at all at the end of the gif. Then it would start again at the beginning automatically. The length of no motion depended on how much time I estimated someone would take reading the text accompanying the gif. I had those who had commented about it being distracting to go through the course again. They all said it was a big improvement and did not find it distracting. Some liked the fact that they could watch it again if they'd like.
