Storyline Block Occasionally Auto-playing

Dec 11, 2019

Hi all,

I'm currently running into an issue with Storyline blocks.

For context:

I am utilizing the blocks to embed videos with closed captions within the Rise course and in the design, it requires the participants to press the block/play to start the storyline block and then the video will begin playing.

The issue:

The video itself (within the Storyline course) is set to auto-play as we don't want the user to click twice to start the video; however, in user-testing, one use has had the Storyline block & the videos auto-play when going through the course. I have been unable to replicate the issue and it was "solved" by having the participant open the course in an incognito browser. 

Any suggested steps?

Hi Crystal! Thank you for the links!

The issue itself was occurring in chrome and while there are around 5 or 6 Storyline blocks (all media-orientated), they are all separated across different lessons. 


While not entirely the same issue, I experienced a similar issue while going through the course the other day. While on a different lesson, the Storyline block from the previous block auto-played for a few seconds after beginning the Storyline block on the current lesson. 

I will see if the tips you included solve the issues and if not, I will follow-up! 

Thank you!
