Auto play audio in Rise?
Is it possible to make an audio clip auto play in Rise? And if so, how can I do this?

Agreed - this is a critical function. Why not just let the creator decide if they want to enable auto play or not. Seems like a good compromise.

I'm strongly in the "add auto play" camp and agree with Tracy's compromise: let the creator decide if they want to enable auto play or not.

I agree with the above - it's absurd to not allow creators the choice to autoplay audio like in every other authoring tool. We can't include audio in our courses currently because it requires you to click on a tiny bar for every interaction which causes a horrible user experience for our clients.

I need an auto play option urgently!! Please.

I agree, especially in process blocks, having auto play is helpful and then it can stop when users select the arrow to move forward.

Agreed! Please make autoplay an option in Rise 360. It is "clunky" and frustrating for learners to complete this manually. I know it's just one click, but if they read the whole slide and they can't continue because they didn't press "play" on the recording at the top of the lesson, we have lost our credibility and their attention.

I'm evaluating the Articulate Suite and I have now ruled out Rise because of this issue. I use audio to enhance my user's experience and add clarity to the content on the screen. Reading is just plain boring. But having users click to start audio disconnects the user from the content and makes for an inconvenient and frustrating experience. I agree with everyone on this post. It should be up to the developer to decide to enable auto-play.

I would like to add my voice to the request for auto play for both audio and video in RISE360!!
Hi everyone! We have added media autoplay on our roadmap for Rise 360. I don't have a timeline for when that feature will be released, but we'll let you know as soon as it's ready!

Thank you so much for listening to the community, this feature will really help User experience with our courses :)

Hi Alyssa, has "media autoplay" been removed from the roadmap???

...I'd be surprised if it was ever ON it.

Unless I'm out of the loop here, I think the short is answer is "no" regarding auto-play and the user has to click the Play icon each time.
The long answer is "Yes" if create a Storyline block, throw an image on it so all the user sees in Rise is the image but ultimately it is a Storyline block with audio that auto-plays. Yes, you will need to do at least one for each screen ... so not only is it a long answer, it is a long and arduous task.
