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?

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.
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.

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.

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?

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.

I have a new project with a new client coming up, and in so many ways Rise (especially with its newer features) would be a great match for the client. But checking back on the deal-breaker issue of audio/video not autoplaying, I find Articulate remains on the wrong side of history for this crucial feature.
I'll add my voice to the many others here again: A learner taking a course built in Rise is not the same as someone just browsing the internet. Entirely different situation. The learner knows why they are there, and they want to get in, get the info, and get out as quickly as possible. If there is audio/video (after all, voiceover narration on each slide is common), the learner wants it playing without having to activate it manually on every single slide. Flow is essential to effective learning. Constant start and stop leads to learner disengagement.
All we're asking for is the OPTION to include this functionality in a Rise course. Even if we could offer the learner an option at the start of the Rise course: "Turn audio/video autoplay off for this course?" that would do it. That would make everyone happy.
Articulate Team: I love you, but you are still missing the boat on this critical issue and forcing developers to use Storyline or even Captivate when Rise could be a much easier solution. Don't keep playing Apple's "Sorry, but we know what you need better than you do" card. Listen to your customers. Give us the option.
Thanks.

Hi all, has there been any change with this or is it still there is no autoplay option?
Thanks for your feedback, Velvet! In the meantime, have you considered using GIFs for the 10-second videos? The GIF will play automatically on a loop, and you can use GIFs anywhere in Rise where an image can be used.

I agree. I would really like an autoplay on videos option..I'm creating tiny "infographic videos" that are 10 seconds and want to avoid them clicking play.

Any update on the autoplay feature? It makes sense to allow creators this option in Rise. Users tire of clicking all over the place. Having a video that auto-plays is less clunky and makes the eLearning more professional and modern; it also gives a sense of flow to the course.
