Videos to Automatically Play in Rise
Is there a way to have videos automatically start to play in Rise when the user reaches that section of the session?

I'm currently building a course that I wish this feature was an option for my particular module. I'm using around a dozen videos in my CBT, but one module would warrant the autoplay feature given the content. I'm going to look into Wisita, but a simple autoplay feature setting on videos would be welcomed.
Thank you.

Somehow... After a year of request etc... Things aren't happening at all. Which, made me conclude the following:
` Articulate is NOT ABLE to make it due to the LACK OF technical expertise or?
- Articulate thinks that we aren't important and aren't listening to the customers?
I've tried embedding videos into SL and export it into Articulate RISE but somehow, when I put in the divider - "Complete the content above before moving on.", after the video's played, it didn't allow the user to move on. I wanted to "marry" both functions but somehow... It didn't work out.
Is there anyone who can give suggestions of what I should do? How can I have autoplay videos from SL, allow the divider "Complete the content above before moving on." changed to "Continue" before moving to the next presentation?

It took me a while to figure it out the first time too. Here are some tips to check. I create storyline objects for just the items to want to make sure autoplay and need to be complete before continuing.
- In storyline, for the triggers I used play video on start of the slide and complete course as completed/passed when video completes.
- When publishing storyline object for an lms I am still using the basic scorm 1.2. Using Cornerstone on demand, I've had some odd results when using the others inside of a rise course.
- Usually I don't allow the seekbar or only drag after completion.
In Rise, if you use Microsoft Edge, it allows autoplay while working in Rise so you can see if you have the autoplay published correctly instead of Chrome.
- For the continue bar, I use the completion type Complete Block Directly Above. For video I find this works better than all blocks above.
- In the navigation settings, I the rise course to restricted so they have to complete the lessons in order so they aren't skipping the required content and asking me why the system won't grant them completion credit for the course.
Hopefully this helps decode what you need to do. Please let us all know what works and what doesn't so we can continue to help each other. I'd love to hear from others how they use Storyline to get around this issue with Rise.
Hi Calvin! Susan shared some excellent tips with you. In addition to what she offered, I wanted to point out these steps on how to require a learner to complete a Storyline Block.

Hello Calvin. You may need to add a trigger on your video slide in Storyline to "complete the course when the media completes." Once you have that trigger, you should see the option to "Track using complete course trigger" when you publish your Storyline interaction.

I agree Auto play should be an option. The video block can default to manual if that is the preference of Articulate. The user should have the option to change to auto play of the desire.

I am new to Rise and was excited to believe I could use 'the perfect' stock video to play in Storyline. Imagine my disappointment to see the translation from an elegant storyline explanation to a clumsy dark screen with a play button in Rise. Then to find this conversation trail from 12 months ago which looks to have been ignored. I add my small voice to improving this feature please.
Hi Stephanie. I hear what you're saying, and I'm sorry this was frustrating for you.
Web content with media is somewhat at the mercy of modern browsers and their autoplay policies. For example, Chrome requires permission for audio to play with a "click" from the viewer. In order to ensure that learners will be able to both see and hear your video content, we added the play button for Storyline interactions that have audio on the first slide. Without it, learners could see a video with no audio, or a stuck video with no instruction on what to do.

There are times where auto-paly is appropriate and times when it is not. It should be at the discretion of the person developing the content, not the software creator. Can this be added to the wish list? it looks like there is a lot of people (including myself) that would like this option.
- MarkTraylorCommunity Member
I realize it's been a while, but to my knowledge the autoplay functionality still hasn't been added to Rise. So I wholeheartedly agree that it's needed. Rise was created to have a more streamlined and modern approach to content, and having to click something to get it to start defeats the design intent. It's just clunky and inefficient.

I will add my voice here as well. A simple trigger at the beginning of the course/tab that says "enable audio before proceeding" can be a workaround. If it can be done in Storyline, I am sure it can be done in Rise. Rise is a sleek, cool, neat design that is a step above from a very DIY Storyline, yet a KEY feature - narration - is not an option in Rise. That basically erases that entire program for me, since I cannot have users scroll through the content just to get to the next page. Videos are limited to one square and Storyline block is - again - clunkier Storyline (don't get me wrong, I love Storyline, but client wants a "lighter" option)
In My Humble Opinion - every block (a picture, text, quiz etc) should have an option "record narration". It's a simple accessibility feature.
