I would like to build the text narrative to either the right or left of the video created in Peek instead of text only showing at the bottom. When the video starts, if the viewer doesn't have a headset or speakers, they will not be able to follow along with the video. Instead of having the text at the bottom, is there a way to display it either to the right or left of the video with the ability to scroll down either automatically or by the user?
Hi Osbia! While there isn't a way to add text to the right or left of a video in Rise 360, you can add closed captions to the video! This way, learners can turn on the closed captions if they don't have a headset or speakers to hear the video's audio.
Alyssa, one can choose either image or video in the "accordian" and "tabs" blocks - extending this useful option to the "image and text" block would be an excellent idea. I found this thread looking to see if such a thing was possible. If it's not on the roadmap, is there a feature suggestion mechanism we can use?
Thanks for that suggestion, Gavin! While that's not on the roadmap right now, we'll let you know if we add a side-by-side text & video block in the future!
I would really love to see this as well! I thought I saw a screen short recording used in the Text & Image block once but cannot find it. Is there anyway to do something like that with a small video/screen recording?
I appreciate you taking the time to share what you’d like to see in Rise 360! We currently have a feature request logged for a video and text layout block, so I’ll go ahead and include your voice. We’ll update this discussion if this feature makes it on our feature roadmap!
Thank you Kelly. I am working on a project that conveys 3 ways for customer service reps to say specific phrases to the customer as well. I didn't want the learner to have to read the information but hear it. I thought it would be great if I could use the 3-column grid for small, short videos or audio buttons could layout side by side. If that's lower hanging fruit for the developers (since the structure is there, just not the media options), that would be another great addition. Thanks!
Hi, I'm fairly new to Rise - I am trying to figure out if there is any other way to insert a small video in Rise. Approximately 300x300 pixels. Side-by-side would be ideal, but if centered in a block I guess I could manage.
I guess if this is crucial - I could create this in Storyline and add as a block... Thanks
We're tracking requests for this feature of displaying a video and text side-by-side in Rise. We'll keep this thread posted on updates that can help!
As discussed above, workarounds can be using Closed Captions in the Video block, or insert a Tabs or Accordion block which will display the text below the image. You can also create this in Storyline, and add this as an SL block in Rise.
Let me know if you have additional questions or clarifications!
Hello, I too would love to see a video and text layout block. I am aware that there are other options above, but would appreciate it if you would take this into serious consideration as an addition to Rise. Thank you!
Personally and specifically, the format of the Image & Text block would be great! One side is the video & the other is the picture, graph, chart, etc. Thanks!
Please add my voice as another in favor of this feature to be added. Especially as one of the sample microlearnings has this showing to "click video to enlarge" (a gif is used instead of a full video).
Hey Phil—is there a way to save that as a block template once it is created? We have someone on our team that could probably modify the code but we would want to use it in other courses. Or, do you have a block template I could use?
hey Phil—so nice of you to respond! so if our programmer follows your instructions in the source code—once it is created in that course can it be saved as a block template or do we need to modify code for each instance? Your work is absolutely beautiful by the way!
Thanks Francesca, and yes unfortunately it needs to be done on each individual course after export, as we are using the block id number to get the desired layout. When authoring your course in Rise just make sure the video block comes just before the text block that you want to be side-by-side.

Looking for the same - text next to video.
Gavin, thanks for the tip. We will use a tab for now but would prefer side-by-side so text and video carry similar weight on the page.

Would also love to see this!
Yes, this would be a very beneficial feature to have, can you please add?

Would also love to see this option. Constantly have to compromise with an image.
Agree video beside text would be great please team!

This would be great
Would love to see this happen as well.
I did a short recording showing how this is possible (if you're nuts like me), I included several highly desired media/design requests including:

Francesca, unfortunately this has to be done to the exported course files, I don't have a way to do this within Rise in edit mode.

Hi! I have 3 shorts from tiktok I'd like to place in one page side by side, is this possible in Rise now?
