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?

You have my vote for adding an autoplay feature as an option.

Where on we on this topic. The creator should decide. It is not up to anyone else to determine what is right or wrong, should or shouldn't be but the content creator for their audience in question.

Hello - can you confirm if autoplay video content has been added to (Rise) Articulate 360. I would like as the admin to preselect that certain videos would autoplay as you move to certain sections and at other times let the user decide to turn this option on... can you please confirm if this is planned to be implemented anytime soon as using the workaround via SL (as mentioned above) is not the same experience of using the tool if an option was available directly with Rise 360 itself.

Hi Jay,
Feature: Autoplay Media

Status: Planned

Hi,
I know this is an older post, but I would like to add my voice here to ask you to add an option to allow autoplay of videos in Rise. Our team projects are video heavy, and we are trying to identify new ways for delivering our trainings. Rise has a ton of potential, but quite honestly, not providing the option to autoplay videos is a show-stopper for us.
It really should be up to the designers and developers of the course projects on whether video and audio autoplay.

We use an animated logo video at the end of our eLearning. I would like to be able to autoplay this.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
