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.
So so pleased that the background sound option is finally available. My question is, I've got an attached video in two slides and when I play the video the background sound volume doesn't lower and it all gets messy. Any idea how I can fix that?
Hello Sh,
Hm, were the videos inserted from disk or are they embedded (website videos)? Please note there is a limitation where the `Pause background audio when video content on a slide plays option` does not apply to website videos.
If the videos were inserted from disk, would you be willing to attach your .story file here for troubleshooting?It is a web object, yes. Had to download a hard file to make it work but thanks for getting back. Another question, how do we adjust the background audio volume as I will also be adding some voice over to the slides and I need them to be clear but still to keep a little background noise. :)
Hi Sh,
Thank you for confirming you were working with an embedded video and that switching to one inserted from disk addressed this for you.
Regarding adjusting the background audio volume when your voice over plays: does setting the `Lower background audio when slide audio plays` checkbox and modifying the % there address your use case? It defaults to 50% of slide audio volume but can be decreased/increased as needed.
