Audio in Rise?

Has any headway been made to autoplay audio files?

Having to click on a separate file is hampering progress on some of our courses. It looks like most of the posts I see are over a year old.

Thanks for linking that article, Lauren! It looks like we need to update it to reflect that the latest version of Safari now allows for recording audio in Rise. 

Hi Jeni,

I recorded a quick video explaining how to add audio to a course in Rise. I hope this helps!

Hi Jeni,

Rise has incredible features including adding audio to course lessons! I found an article that explains adding audio in depth. 

This is the section I would focus on:

 Audio

In labeled graphic, process, and timeline blocks, click the Record Audio microphone icon, then click either Start Recording or Upload a file.

You can also add a multimedia audio block on its own. Click Edit to open the sidebar. Choose either Upload or Start Recording.

The maximum file size for each audio file you upload to Rise 360 is 5 GB.

After adding audio, click Edit to remove or replace it.

Mac Users: Safari doesn’t support audio recording. Use Google Chrome or Firefox when you need to record narration in Rise 360.

If any other questions come up, don't hesitate to reach out to me directly. 

Quick question, there is no auto-play function for audio, right? The learner has to click the play button to hear the audio?

Hi Coreen, that's correct!  Learners need to click the play button to listen to audio in Rise.
