I have looked around the community for a way to remove the sound icon/the volume control for a slide of mine in Storyline. I read about "Interaction Properties" as a way to do this but could not find this tab or any other method to remove the icon/control. I am sure it is staring me in the face but I just can't see it. Can anyone please help me with this?
The volume control is located in the player's properties. If you inserted a Screen Recording for example, then you would click on the Player properties button at the top right.
Within the properties there will be an option to uncheck the volume.
I'll do a Screenr video for this soon and post it here.
Adrian and Colin! Bringing the heat! Nice work. I didn't see that at all ... too much time staring at my screen I guess.
Colin, you mention that you can take the volume control/speaker icon for individual slides on the bottom right corner while in slide view. I only have Player Features there with menu, glossary, seekbar, resources, and notes that I can uncheck. But no volume icon I can uncheck. Am I lookng in the right place? I was able to take out the slide path menu there if any one is interested ... I was!
Thanks so much for answering me ... on a Saturday no less!
There isn't a way to add or remove the volume control for individual slides. The only place the volume control exists is with the player properties which encompasses all slides and scenes within one project or course.
No, there is not currently an option to remove the volume control from one slide. If this is something you'd like to submit as a feature request, you can do so here.
Thank you for your question, but at this time it's still not possible to remove the volume button for just one slide. It would make a nice feature request though.
When the volume feature is removed from the player, does the system automatically turn the volume all the way up or does it set the volume somewhere in the middle?
Glad you found a solution that'll work for you, Reena, and I appreciate you sharing it here. If you're able to share the steps to accomplish this that may assist others who come across this forum discussion.
It's not important enough for me to attempt to hack the code and remove the audio button from one slide, but this would be a very nice feature. Given that we can set the player features for a slide as "custom for the selected slides" and remove the seekbar from that slide, for instance, it would make sense to allow customization of other player features at the same place.

I think that it's in the Player properties. There is a checkbox for it.
You can also change it on a slide-by-slide basis in the bottom right corner while in the story view.

Thanks, Ashley Terwilliger for your response.
No problem Reena, and please let us know if you need anything else.
Hi,
I would to know if it possible to desactivate the volume just for one slide. The rest of my slide should have the volume button.
Thanks

Hi Lori,
We don't remove/delete posts - but it looks like you've updated it on your end.
Let us know if you need help with something!
When the volume feature is removed from the player, does the system automatically turn the volume all the way up or does it set the volume somewhere in the middle?
Thanks,

Hi Mike,
That's a great question - and I'd assume it's set up to use whichever audio level you've set up in the audio editor or the default audio.
Any effort on adding ability to remove speaker icon on a slide by slide basis?
Hi Rob!
Not at this time.

Finally, I have found the solution for how to remove the sound icon/volume icon in any slide.

How did you remove the icon from one slide. The demo I see only shows 1 slide without the volume icon and one slide with it.
I would love to know how you did this.
