background music in Storyline
Hi everybody,
Is there any way to insert background music like in Presenter in Storyline?
Thank you
Hi everyone!
I have some great news to share. We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 74, we've included important fixes and new features.
One of the new features we've included is:
- Create immersive experiences with continuous background audio that sets the tone and keeps learners engaged.
Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let me know if you have questions!
Thank you! I have been trying to solve this mystery for months! This worked perfectly on a course I was constructing for one of my wife's classes! Thank you Christine and Kenny! You guys are the best!

(The example in case you were curious)
Hi Phil, thank you! Very unfortunate, I hope Storyline will have that feature in the near future.
6 years ago and this still hasn't been added. Sad.
- The best way to help urge that is to file a feature request for Articulate's consideration: http://www.articulate.com/support/contact/submit.php?form=feature

You could try but I think it would either not play or restart each time the slide master was called. In storyline the slide is destroyed each time you leave it
You could try either previewing or publishing the presentation, then screen capturing it live with something like Camtasia whilst playing the music in the background? It's fiddly, but it might just work!!
Erm...is there some example html code missing from your post Kenny?
This looks like the perfect solution to my problem however!
@ Christine,
1st. Thank you for your post.
2nd. There seems to be 2 parts to Kenny's post = 2a. & 2b.
It appears that you have supplied the code for 2b. but we are still missing 2a.
The line of code(2a.) for which I need to look for, in order to place code (2b.) Yes?
@Christine,
Thank you for this coding. I have a question though - where do you place the "yourmusicfile.mp3" ? I tried placing it in the root directory as well as the story_content folder, but neither seem to be working.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Hi Debbie. Welcome to the community!
I'm afraid I did not write that code, or the directions. I was simply modifying it, because the original code with the proper placement of the <>, etc, wouldn't allow the forums to display the content.
You may want to try contacting Kenny, who posted the original code earlier, or maybe one of the community member's that have used this successfully can give you some advice :)
Thanks!

Step to add background music:
1. Publish your story first
2. In the output folder, open story.html with notepad and edit the HTML code as below:
2a. First, find the coding -
2b. Add new coding underneath as follows:
2c. Change the "yourmusicfile.mp3" to your mp3 file name
3. Save the story.html
