Storyline audio stops working on random slides
I’ve been working with Storyline for some time, but this time I’ve encountered an issue where I’m unable to identify any clear cause or logic behind what’s happening. I currently have four modules published from Storyline, both for SCORM and Review. During the review process, one of my colleagues commented that a particular slide did not have audio. However, when I checked, the audio was present on the slide timeline and played correctly on my end in both Review and Preview. Another co-worker of mine also confirmed that the audio worked for her. 🙃 I then published the module to SCORM and uploaded it to Moodle. While conducting final testing, I noticed that a few slides are experiencing the same issue. The audio does not play when the slide starts. To make the audio work, I either need to: go back to the previous slide and return to the slide, or let the slide timeline finish (in restricted mode), then drag the timeline back to the beginning, at which point the audio starts playing. I would prefer not to create a trigger on every slide to play the audio, as the audio should automatically play when the slide timeline starts. Additionally, most of the slides are working correctly, and only a few slides are affected, which makes it difficult to determine the cause. if anyone has encountered similar issues and have some suggestions or tips on how to fix this. I would greatly appreciate the help!!!Navigation guide / Progress bar on storyline player
Hi Expert, I’m currently working on a client project in Articulate Storyline and need help replicating a course design. It includes guided screen highlights/pop-ups for different sections and a progress bar integrated into the player menu. The progress bar shows percentage completion and increases as the learner progresses through the course. I’ve tried recreating it but I’m finding it difficult at my current level. I would really appreciate your guidance or any approach to achieve this. Thanks.Slow down entire slide/voice - text to speech
Is there an easy way to slow down the text-to-speech for each slide-to-speech file? Meaning, I don't want to slow down a specific word or words but rather the entire paragraph of text on a slide. I want to slow down the entire rate for that voice file. Any way to do this? It would be nice to have this an option when the "insert text to speech" window opens. Then have a selection to slow down the rate at that point, with options of rate speeds)AI Chatbots in Storyline
Chatbots in Storyline? Meet Sarah. What if your eLearning course could talk back? I built an AI-powered chatbot right inside the D-ID app and then designed inside Articulate Storyline, and named her Sarah. She’s more than a character. She’s a smart, interactive course concierge that answers learner questions using your course’s knowledge base. No more digging through PDFs or endless menus; just ask, and Sarah responds. Watch the quick intro: 👉 https://youtu.be/HOLTi-zFNcw?si=14xJYC-0UEFGtnYV Sarah’s just the start of smarter, more human learning in 2025.Audio-Button functions and states within selfbuild WBT menue and options
Hi everyone, currently I am working on a selfbuild WBT menue with own options on buttons (like refresh, fullscreen, turn on/off subtitles, etc.). This also includes a button for un/muting audio. (Screenshot "Menue 1") Until now I tried a lot; made my way through own ideas, tutorials in various forum posts or videos, asked colleagues, tried prompts in Copilot and so on. The thing is, I always get stuck evertime at the same point. Therefore, I am reaching out to you in hope that you can help me out. My setup is the following - first slide in master slide view: I have a button that consists of these elements grouped together: a circular “Ellipse” element, and above it a vector graphic of an ear. This vector graphic has the normal state (regular ear Icon) and the state selected (ear Icon crossed out). (Screenshot Icon states) The Ellipse has also a second state for hovering with a slight shadow around the circle. Then, to make things even a little bit more complicated, when the user can either click this button directly from the side menue. But if they navigate to the "Menue"-Button, the side menue will expand, laid out on another layer (Screenshot "Menue 2 Expanded"). Next to each button is a section reading the function of the button and thanks to a hotspot over each section, it is also clickable. So the button must be functioning and changing it's states in both ways: regular menue and expanded menue - and from the expanded menue as well. Goal; what should be the effects by clicking the Audio button? As soon as the user clicks on the button group, the audio on the slide should be muted and the state of the vector graphic should change: an ear crossed out. When the user clicks this button again, the audio should be unmuted, and the vector graphic should return to its original state (the normal ear). So, the audio should not be stopped and resumed: The audio should be "playing" without sound in the background with continuous timeline. A slide can also contain multiple consecutive audio files that play one after the other. The audio button un/mutes all of them when the user clicks the button. And when the user moves to the next slide, the WBT should remember that the selected function (audio is turned off/on) and show the ear icon accordingly (as crossed out/normal). Point 3 and 4 shall also apply for the audios of videos: So the video-part is still going on while the audio can be muted/unmuted. --> To make it trickier: This should also work for the case when there are audios and videos on one slide. Has anyone an idea how to solve this riddle and incorporate all the required speficiations? I would be beyond grateful. I uploaded a scrubbed, condensed version of my SL project file. So that you can have a look on the setup and previous as well as actual triggers, Javascripts etc. Thanks in advance for your support Best regardsCannot Generate Voiceover – No Voices Available
Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with AI voices in Articulate. The voice list is completely blank, so I can’t select any voice or generate voiceover, like in the screenshot below. I already tried refreshing and reopening the project, but it’s still the same. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks!Issue with Replay Button When Using "Resume Saved State"
Hey Team, In the slide player settings, I set slides to resume saved state since I’ve disabled the Next button. I wanted learners to go through each slide before moving forward. Once a learner has reviewed a slide, I don’t want them to have to replay the slide again just to enable the Next button. However, this setup seems to interfere with the Replay button—it’s not working and won’t replay the slide as intended.Spark trail effect. How to do it?
I´d like to create an animation that resembles this effect: a spark or star that leaves a trace of little sparks that fade away. I tried one with graphics that have in and out animations, placed in consecutive times on the timeline, and a motion path for the main spark. It works fine, but I´d like to know if some Storyline wizard could come up with other solutions. Thanks.
