How to turn off background music for specific screens?
I like the new feature, however there needs to be a way to turn off the background music for certain screens, i.e. initial splash screen and assessments.
Hi everyone!
Good news! I'm happy to share that we just released Storyline 360 (Build 3.81.31200.0), which includes a feature to control the background audio for each slide using triggers to play, pause, or stop the playlist.
This was highly requested, so we hope it serves you in your course creation! If you run into any snags, don't hesitate to contact our team in a support case.
Hi, a workaround is to import a "silent sound" (or create it directly in Storyline) and make it loop in a layer. Then set the volume to 0 % in the background music option when a slide is playing.
Hi Gregory!
Thanks for taking the time to share that workaround! I'm sure other users discovering this thread will find it helpful! I'll include your voice in the feature report, and will notify you as soon as we have updates to share!
Have a great rest of your week!

Hi Lauren, this was a great feature to add. one thing that would be helpful though is a way to choose when the background music begins. As i am uploading courses to an LMS, as soon as the user enters the lesson page the course starts playing. I can pause the timeline/pause the background music when timeline starts so that the user has to click a button to enter the course before the music begins BUT it still starts to play and then stops when the trigger kicks in which is a bit annoying. I want zero sound until the user clicks to enter the course, not .5 seconds of music and then it stops and then starts again when user enters the course
it would also be so helpful to have greater control over the volume of the background music. even wthough we can turn it down when other audio plays it is I want to be able to turn it down overall and not just when the voice over is happening. i want it very subtle in the background. any ideas?
Hi Curtis,
Great question! I understand you would like to be able to turn off the background audio on specific slides. Even though the new background audio feature has many options, turning off the background audio on specific slides is not one of them. That sounds like an interesting idea that I can share with our product team.
Thanks for reaching out!
