I have inserted a SL module into Rise and I get a blank screen with an arrow. Is there anyway to get a thumbnail or at least a ghosted image of the first slide before they click the stat arrow?
Hi, Steve! You'll see the play button covering the Storyline Block if there is audio or video on the first slide. Learners will need to click the play button to display the slide content. This is expected behavior since Chrome requires a "click" to allow autoplay of media.
You can prevent this by adding an intro slide to the beginning of the Storyline block that contains no media files.
Thanks Alyssa, it's all good now. I appreciate your reply. I created a one second slide that had no audio on it and then had it automatically transition to the exact same slide with the intro narration on it. We now have a beautiful thumbnail for our SL module that has been placed into Rise. So cool!
I have done this (I created a one-second slide that had no audio on it and then had it automatically transition to the next slide). But the audio narration on the next slide doesn't play automatically until I refresh the seek bar
The feature of auto-playing audio and video isn't available in Rise. Users must click the play button to start an audio or video file. This is why embedded Storyline 360 content does not automatically start in the Rise 360 course. Also, most web and phone browsers actually prevent auto-play of media; it needs to be user-initiated.
We're monitoring these requests for this feature, and we'll let you know if we decide to allow autoplay in future updates of Rise 360.
The above solution of putting a slide with no audio or video works perfectly.
Is there a similar workaround if the audio in a presentation is added as background music?, (that is plays on every slide.) Even though, I use a trigger to pause the background audio for the first slide, the Storyine object displays in Rise with the Start Arrow. is it possible to have background audio that does not register on the first slide?
