I'm playing around in Rise and I cannot see a way to add audio. Is this not possible? Currently I'm looking at an Image and text, but I would want to add audio to almost anything. This would be highly disappointing.
I would like to also ask hat all blocks have audio options. I have just read through 3 years of these requests. Are you guys still updating Rise360? The staff responses are getting fewer and fewer on the topic....
Hi there, Rhoda. Thanks for adding your voice. We don't have immediate plans to add audio to additional blocks, but we are monitoring these discussions and tagging them to be updated if we release a change that will help. Here's our release history for Rise 360 so far!
Hi Andreas. No audio in scenario blocks, right now! It's a request that we're tracking, so I'll make sure you're notified if we make changes that will help.
Any idea when this feature might be added? We are trying to make our training as accessible as possible and adding audio that would automatically start playing would be helpful.
Accessibility is important to us, too! Our plans are to meet WCAG 2.1 by the end of 2020, and this will include full screen reader support. Screen readers will read every element on the screen, so you won't need to add audio manually. We'll let you know when we've got more to share!
Hi Alyssa, can you explain the process for how you built out this sample? (clicking the button to show the audio block - keeping it all on the same page). Thanks.

After years of requests for this, Articulate is just saying "Too bad!" ? I developed a course in Rise, and just assumed we could add audio, like any other eLearning authoring tool. Now I may have just wasted my time, because Rise and it's developers couldn't be bothered to add this feature?
This really is a BASIC request, have audio automatically play. If a device doesn't support it, so be it. It should still be a feature. You would think YEARS of the same request would get through to Articulate.
I would respectfully disagree. When I performed an ethnographic observation of mobile learning habits, I discovered that many people are now habituated toward the youtube paradigm where scenes of audio-video play automatically. Swiping to a new section with audio starting at the same time is closer to the consumption habits of other types of media.
I am getting an error message while trying to upload audio files into a process or labeled graphic block. I have tried .m4a, .mp3 and .wav. I receive the following error: "Please verify the file type is audio and try again." Do you know why the error?
Quite disappointing if there's no progress on this yet after 5 years of folks asking for it. It should be default to be able to add an audio track to pretty much any Rise block - even if for sound effects or music, much less narration.
I am trying to relocate the audio insert from the bottom of the Timeline block to the top section of the timeline block. I have seen it in an articulate rise video but not seen how it was done.
This would be a great feature. Many of our learners have requested the ability to listen to audio at the same time as reading text. It certainly conforms with Universal Design for Learning (UDL) concepts.
Hi Laura, the introductory blocks lesson that Leslie mentioned can be anything you like for your course introduction - text, audio, video...etc. This will be the first lesson your learners will see when they start the course. I hope this helps!
Thanks for reaching out, Luciana! Rise doesn't have a background music feature, but you can check out this thread for suggestions from the community that you can try.

Is there a way to record audio into a dialogue in a scenario block? like what we can do in a labelled graphic block.

Sure, Ryan! Here's the list of blocks I used in that lesson.
Let me know if that helps!

Hi Heidi, I am here to help. To upload an audio file, click on Record audio.
Then click on upload a file.
Select the file from your computer and click on Open.

Hey,
I realise I am late to the party but is it now possible to add sound to one of my flip cards in Rise?
Thanks
Gary
Hi Gary! No audio in flip cards, right now. We're still tracking requests for it, and we'll update this thread once we make changes that will help!
Hey Hazel
Thanks for your reply.

Hi Great work here
I am trying to relocate the audio insert from the bottom of the Timeline block to the top section of the timeline block. I have seen it in an articulate rise video but not seen how it was done.
Thank you
Hi Gary,
When you add audio to the events in your timeline block, the audio playbar will automatically appear at the top of the event like this:

I agree with this concern Ammon.
Where are the "introductory blocks"? I don't see that block listed as an option.

Hi, is there a way of adding a background music to my rise training? I found it can get more motivating if is not onlytext and images
