Feature Idea: Autoplay / Background Audio Support in Rise 360 Custom Blocks
I’d love to see auto play or background audio support added to custom blocks in Rise 360. Currently, audio inside a custom block must be manually played by the learner, which limits use cases like voiceovers, guided walkthroughs, and narrated interactions.
Enabling either (or both) of the following would be highly valuable:
- Auto play audio within custom blocks (within browser limitations)
- Background audio playback so narration continues while learners interact with the screen
This would greatly improve the flexibility of designing narrated or voiceover-driven learning experiences in Rise.

Hello Sriram_S_Iyer,
Thanks for sharing your voice with us! We understand that you’d like audio in Custom Blocks to start playing automatically or in the background, allowing learners to follow a smooth, narrated experience without needing to press play each time.
I've shared your insight with our product team so they're aware that this would be helpful to your content and workflow. We'll share future updates in this thread so all are in the loop!
Thanks for taking the time to help make Rise 360 even better!
This feature would be great add on, I am leading our team of over 300 employees on the transition to workday learning using Rise 360, and this is one of our main concerns. We have a lot of English as second language team members and having an auto play feature for voice overs is critical for our safety training
