Truly Embed Storyline Blocks
I frequently use Storyline blocks in Rise and I wonder why on tablet and mobile we view this very black ugly block to click (like it is a video, which it is not) before we can interact with it. It would help if we could change the color and get rid of the file name and customize the 'play' button. If there is a way to do this I am unaware of, I would love to know.
But on the whole, integration of Storyline blocks in Rise could definitely a bit smoother!
I've previously raised this with Articulate support.
Storyline blocks with any media (video or audio) on the first slide will not autoplay and show a black screen with a play button. The black screen itself is not editable, so choosing a light player theme will not impact it. It works this way as web browsers prevent autoplay when media is present.
One workaround would be to add a cover photo. Go to the player settings and select a cover photo on the left-hand side. You can choose to use an image of the first slide as a cover photo.Thanks, that is very helpful! (never noticed this cover photo option!)
At least it looks a little better this way! Btw this does not only occur with blocks with media, but also with slides and drag and drop interactions. But I am sure the workaround will help me here too.
