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?

Please consider the option for auto play on videos. This option would create a better user experience even for people like me who are hearing impaired. Storyline provides this feature so would make sense for Rise to also have it. Thank you!

any update? indeed autoplay is needed !! was really surprised that this was not working. even an argument to step away from Rise.... :-(

@Jan Ketels It was on the Articulate Feature roadmap for the past year, with a status of "Planning", but it has since been removed. My organization is having similar arguments to step away from RISE and Articulate because of the many feature limitations that are not being addressed.

Good morning folks. Articulate team, please make this an option for us users asap. I for one love your platform and the professional products they create, but this is one feature that many of us are needing. With our busy workloads, doing a work-around to achieve this simple result is not a good direction. Clicking on "autoplay" is what we want and need. Leave it up to us to decide how to best have a user-experience with our unique audiences. Hope this gets released soon as there appears to be some energy on this topic again.

For something very small and short, try turning a clip into a gif if you have an Adobe account. Works in an instant - google it in Adobe express

Not the best solution Diane, as most video content usually has some form of audio, as well as being longer than a few seconds. I've used this solution myself for short, animated elements (see attached file), however have required this auto-replay feature for larger videos numerous times in Rise when adding instructional content. I don't want users to have to press a 'Play' button, but seamlessly play once the content is reached. This must be quite an easy fix for the Rise developers!!!

I posted this as a reply to someone else, but I'd like to post it here as well. I understand the "why it is a non-feature" at the top of this thread. However, to be blunt, that's a non-answer and a fairly myopic viewpoint. We all don't do things the same way. Many of my clients end up monetizing their courses on cloud-based platforms and insist that a standard branded intro or a logo animation appears automatically when the course is launched. So there are cases when the ability to auto-start a video is not only desired, but required. I'd like to add my voice to the request to add this feature.

+1 for autoplay of audio and/or video in Rise.

Any updates on this feature? I would like videos to play within a labeled graphic to reduce the number of clicks. If anyone has found a workaround for this, please share.
Much appreciated.

Hi Margharita - my current workaround (thanks to someone much earlier on this thread) is to use GIFs. If you 1) have the ability to create them (I use SnagIt) and 2) don't need audio in your video, this can serve pretty well - within labeled graphics AND anywhere else you can include an image.

I had the opposite problem - wanted a video (this was an embedded one) to NOT autoplay - and I was able to edit the embed code to not allow autoplay. I'm guessing if you can host your video in a place that gives you embed code, you could add that bit of HTML and it would play. YMMV depending on where the video is hosted.
with autoplay on:
<iframe src="https://webinars.sitecore.com/v.ihtml/player.html?source=share&photo%5fid=79862605" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="1" allow="autoplay; fullscreen"></iframe>
with autoplay off:
<iframe src="https://webinars.sitecore.com/v.ihtml/player.html?source=share&photo%5fid=79862605" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="1" allow="fullscreen"></iframe>
This only controls whether the video autoplays when the lesson opens. I didn't go far enough to figure out how to have a video autoplay when the learner reaches a particular block, as this project was on a deadline with no time to experiment.

Except they do autoplay and I can't get it to not autoplay
