Voice over isn't an accessibility requirement. For those with vision issues they will be using a screen reader so will likely want to switch off all audio in a course.
Ah thanks. I've also been asked to more the course more interesting than just reading so was going to add a voiceover. I can't see how I can do this without building the course in Storyline 360 and importing into Rise 360 but I prefer how Rise looks. Any advice, please? Thanks
Rise 360 allows you to add audio in an Audio Block. You can record the audio yourself, or upload an audio file from your computer. The Labeled Graphic, Process, and Timeline Blocks also support the option to add audio. However, audio will not play automatically, so learners must click the play button to listen to the narration.
Please let me know if you have any more questions!
I wanted to clarify that the audio block only adds a single audio file to a course, it can't add voiceover or background audio to other blocks. This is what it looks like for your reference:
I've added your voice to a feature request we have open for adding background audio in a Rise 360 course. We'll let you know when it makes it to our product roadmap.
I also wanted to share this article which includes some tips on designing accessible Rise 360 courses that might interest you.

Hi Steven
Can you direct me to a course that has an audio block so I can see how it looks, please? Thanks
