How to Auto-play Audio Files in Rise 360

Jan 23, 2022

Hello - I have seen a variety of threads on this topic, however, the trail goes a little dry from 2 years ago.  

Is there a way to play audio automatically in Rise 360?

Requiring the action to start audio to view in tandem with content adds no value to the learner's experience and breaks the flow of the design.

I read that there was a challenge related to mobile responsiveness, but it would be great to know what considerations are being made, if any, to bring this highly requested enhancement to bear.

Thank you,

Joanna

After years of developing training with Storyline, I've begun experimenting with Rise. While it offers a more polished appearance, I've noticed the absence of several features, such as text-to-speech and autoplay for audio files. It's disheartening to discover that these features have been long requested, yet there's no indication of progress or completion.

I find no justification to keep using Rise as it fails to satisfy the fundamental requirements of our training. I will stick with Storyline for the time being and explore other platforms that offer enhanced features.
