I'm having problems with an engage interaction imported into SL.
I've created an Engage, Imported as a new slide into SL, but I only get a blank slide once it's published. The Engage appears on the slide in SL file, and shows up in the preview. Yet absolutely nothing on the screen after publishing.
Anyone have any ideas? Here's a screenshot of the engage sitting in SL:
Storyline imports Engage interactions as web objects and they play as standalone interactions that are embedded into your story. However, they may not work properly if you view locally and you should test properly via link previously mentioned.
I'm having the same issue with an Engage file I imported into SL. I tried publishing it to Web and to LMS, but when I "View Project", the Engage interaction still appears as a white screen.
Have you tried publishing to CD and seeing what happens then.
As Leslie said some content only works in the environment it is published for, so if you are publishing to Web or LMS and clicking the View Project button on the Publish Successful pop up you are actually viewing the content locally, not via a web or LMS server. The other option is to move your content to a web server or LMS and test it from there.
I don't know if Engage works better with Storyline now. But Engage works fine with Storyline. The only thing I really like Storyline is text-to-speech. If that feature is included in Engage and Studio, I will be a happy camper. I recommend my colleagues, instructors not computer scientist or programmer, to use the plug-in if at all possible. Storyline is a fancier software. Sometimes we just need simple stuff especially for those of us who do create online courses as a profession but just to teach.

Hi Richard!
You did not mention where you are publishing your content, so be sure that you are following the proper way for Publishing and Sharing Storyline Content.
Storyline imports Engage interactions as web objects and they play as standalone interactions that are embedded into your story. However, they may not work properly if you view locally and you should test properly via link previously mentioned.
Hope this helps!

Hi Matt,
It looks like Helen has you covered here, and if you're in need of a testing platform you may want to use one of these options:
