🎉 Wrapping up 2025 with a grateful (and honestly pretty tired) smile. It’s been a big year for Storyline 360, so I wanted to share a few highlights before we close the book. This year was about making Storyline more helpful in very real, practical ways, not just adding shiny features for the sake of it. A few things I’m especially proud of: 🚀 AI started pulling its weight This wasn’t about slapping a chatbot into the product. We focused on tangible wins that save time and reduce friction. Things like high-quality text-to-speech, automatic captions for audio and video, AI-generated alt text, image generation, and even quiz question generation. These are the kinds of tasks that used to slow authors down but should now feel easy or even trivial. We also introduced AI-generated JavaScript entrance animations, which might look like a small feature on the surface, but it’s actually a big deal for the future of AI in Storyline. We reworked how the AI Assistant chat works and laid the foundation for a whole new wave of AI-powered features. In 2026, we’re excited to keep pushing this further, helping you create objects and triggers, sync things on the timeline, and design better, more interactive courses without needing to be a power user on day one. ♿ Accessibility made meaningful progress The new Accessibility Checker, better screen reader support, Set Focus triggers, and captioning improvements were all driven directly by customer feedback. There’s still more to do, but this year delivered real improvements that authors and learners can feel. 🎨 More expressive interactivity and design tools Fluid morph transitions, new emphasis animations, shape merging, and a new JavaScript API opened up a lot of creative space. Courses don’t have to feel static anymore, and we’re seeing authors do some really impressive things with these tools. 🎥 Media just works better now We made some investments in media support this year for cleaner caption workflows, better playback reliability, and fewer weird edge cases. We also snuck in support for WebM, which enables videos with transparent backgrounds and unlocks some really fun design possibilities. A lot of unglamorous work here, but it makes a big difference day to day. 🛠️ A mountain of fixes and polish Hundreds of quality-of-life improvements landed this year. Some tiny, some massive, all aimed at making the authoring experience smoother and more predictable. None of this happens without customers pushing us, questioning us, and telling us when something feels off. That feedback keeps us honest, so please keep it coming. If you’ve used any of these features, I’d genuinely love to hear what’s working for you and what still feels rough. Tell me straight. What helped the most this year, and where did we miss? Here’s to an even better 2026!Horizontal Scrolling Bar 2025 New Method
We have been waiting for 1,5 decade for a Horizontal scrolling bar. 😆 While we wait, here's a new method that doesn't involve grouping, rotating and all that janky jazz. All you gotta do, is execute this JavaScript on a trigger when timeline starts. const square1 = object('5cIKSnWwBvM'); update(() => { square1.x = getVar('Slider1'); }); The object can be a picture, shape or a Group of many things. After this, create a Slider. Set a positive start number and a negative End number - that makes sure the scrolling bar scroll the right way (create a text box with the Slider variable in it, to fine-tune the numbers you use, it will make sense what I mean when you open the example project). I have added some shapes to create the illusion of it being inside a scrolling panel. Check the attached Storyline file for the codes and a visual example. Up next for me is to style the scrolling bar and make a custom background for it, so it looks like a real panel. Enjoy.Unable to get slide to advance when media completes
I'm creating a course that will contain a number of embedded videos that we've got hosted on our SharePoint. I've inserted the first video using "Video from website..." and I've pasted in the embed code from Microsoft Stream. The video inserts correctly and, when I publish the course, I can view the video without any problems. When I try to add a jump to next slide trigger using "when media completes" and selecting the video, the slide doesn't advance once the video finishes playing. What makes this even more problematic is that a manual jump to next slide when user clicks or swipes next also doesn't seem to work for the slide either and I'm not sure why. I've attached the course with the title slide, the intro video slide, and the course menu slide that should come up once the video completes. The video slide has the actual video embed off to the side and just a random YouTube embed actually on the slide because you won't be able to access the video I'm using without accessing our SharePoint. The behaviour is the same whether using my video or the YouTube video though. EDIT: I just wanted to add that I've tried this with both jump to next slide and show layer. Neither trigger will advance when embedded video ends.Suggestion: single triggers that can affect multiple objects, layers or variables.
Greetings, I would like to suggest triggers that can affect grouped objects, layers and variables, Storyline 360. GROUPED OBJECTS If you want to hide multiple assets in a group, you must change their states to Hidden for each of them individually. You cannot say "change state of [group 1] to Hidden", despite Hover states reacting normally. A single command that changes states to "all selected objects" would also be welcomed. GROUPED LAYERS Let's say you have a click-to-reveal in a secondary layer, not the base slide, that calls other layers to reveal text boxes. You must have a trigger that closes each layer individually, because you cannot close that main layer nor hide it. I'd love a trigger that goes like "close [all selected layers from this list]" in one single command. GROUPED VARIABLES If your slide requires variables that must be reset on every visit, you have to trigger them to reset individually. OI'd like to see a trigger that "reset all selected variables to their [initial values]", again in one single command. Please note that while you can choose how to display your triggers, you still need one trigger/"thing". Thanks in advance.
