892 TopicsInsert Video from File vs. Insert Video from Website
I am working on two courses, and they are both very video heavy. The last course I did like this was causing issues for users on older model Apple devices and after several months of working with Articulate, it was found that there was no viable solution. I think part of the issue was how large the courses were with the embedded video files. If I upload the videos unlisted on YouTube first and then embed them into the course, would that make the files smaller and maybe easier for older model Apple products to handle? The user would need an internet connection to access the course in the first place based on the set up of our LMS, so learner internet access isn't a factor in my decision. What is your preference when working with large multimedia files in courses?21Views0likes1CommentIs there a way to prevent other team members from downloading my Storyline backups from Review 360?
Realizing the answer is most likely no, I'm going to ask anyway. Is there a way to prevent other members of my team from downloading my backed-up Storyline files from within Review 360 reviews? Thanks!21Views0likes0CommentsCropped avatar made videos are distorted

Hi E-Learning Heroes Community & Articulate Team, I am sharing feedback regarding the recent updates to the AI Assistant features in Rise 360. Even as a certified user, these recent changes to the interface and functionality have introduced major friction into my authoring workflow and are severely slowing down production: Top AI Menu Toolbar Restrictions: The main AI toolbar button at the top is now only Update text across your course or for specific lessons or blocks. Previously, this button opened a comprehensive drop-down list featuring all available AI actions in one central location. Now, that list is gone, and those options have been scattered throughout different areas of Rise. Instead of having a single, efficient menu, I now have to hunt through the entire interface just to find tools that used to be readily accessible in one place. Block Background Image Swapping Glitches: Swapping out the default mountain background visual on blocks has become frustratingly unreliable. It often takes multiple attempts, rather than a single attempt like prior, to replace the generic mountain photo with a custom image when setting up background visuals for block components. Reduction in Generated Image Variations: The AI image generation tool now yields only a single image option per attempt, down from the four distinct variations we used to receive. Storyline still provides four generated image options to choose from, but Rise 360 now yields only a single image option per attempt. This reduction requires repeatedly generating images from scratch, making the search for appropriate visuals far more time-consuming. Getting four options previously allowed us to quickly compare compositions and select the best fit. Loss of Image Prompt History: The system no longer saves, displays, or retains the AI prompt used to generate an image. Previously, we could easily open an existing generated image, view the exact prompt, and copy/paste it to adapt for subsequent images. Articulate needs to add prompt history retention to Rise and Storyline for images so we can iterate on past prompts and keep generated images aligned with the same brand/theme family across a course. These changes are directly impacting authoring speed, visual brand consistency, and daily productivity. Has anyone else encountered these friction points or found effective workarounds? I strongly urge the product team to consider restoring prompt history retention, four-option image generation, and the centralized drop-down menu for AI toolbar controls.541Views5likes10CommentsIssue with a slide in SL - click to reveal interaction

Hello, I just heard about the AI Avatar Generator used to create videos. How does the token system work? Do individual users on a corporate bundle have their own token allotment or is it a shared amount of tokens for the bundle? When do the tokens reset? Thanks, Ryan Brown265Views0likes6CommentsTrigger not launching email in LMS player
I developed a course that includes a hotspot. The learner is supposed to click on the hotspot which triggers a "send email to" action. The items work in review 360 but do not in the lms player (vi LMS). Any suggestions on how to get the trigger/hotspot to work?133Views1like5CommentsHow to Master Articulate Storyline for Interactive E-Learning Projects?
Hi everyone, I’ve been working with articulate storyline recently while developing interactive e-learning modules, and I’ve noticed that many beginners struggle to move beyond basic slide creation. While articulate storyline is incredibly powerful, especially with triggers, states, layers, and variables, understanding how to combine these elements effectively is where most learning designers face challenges. For example: When should you use layers vs. new slides? How do you structure variables in articulate storyline for complex branching? What’s your approach to keeping large storyline projects organized? From my experience, mastering articulate storyline becomes much easier when you focus first on logic building rather than visual design. Once you understand triggers and conditions deeply, creating advanced interactions feels more intuitive. I’m curious to know: What helped you become confident in articulate storyline?237Views0likes3CommentsLaptop Advice for running Storyline 360
I have Gaming Desktop with tons of horsepower for my everyday use but I want to be able to work while mobile and do not want to get a Laptop that can’t handle this software. Is necessary to have a Laptop with a 4GB or larger Graphics Card (like an Nvidia 4070, etc.) or if the Laptop’s Integrated Graphics is going to be enough? (Its not mentioned on Articulate website). Computer Hardware Requirements preferred for Articulate 360 AI including graphics specs? Do you need to have a powerful graphics card (Nvidia 4070) to run Articulate 360 AI on a Laptop? Suggested Hardware Specs? Thank you for your help.818Views0likes4Comments
