Peek 360 and Mac

Hello everyone.

I have just finished Daniel Brigham's Storyline Essentials on LinkedIn. 

When I went to download it, I was pushed over to Peek 360 because I have a Mac.

I downloaded the software but when I click on the application nothing happens. And I want to know if I am making a mistake somewhere without realizing it. 

Thank you for your help.

John

    Furthermore, the only thing on my computer is a camera. And when I click on it, nothing happens. 

    I am trying to use Storyline on my Mac. Can I use it or not?

  • Storyline is Windows only you can run it using a virtual machine

    Thank you Phil for your quick response. Would Rise be a better alternative for me?

  • Rise is browser based will work on a Mac, I work on a Mac and use Parallels to run Storyline works fine now.

      I guess my next question is what are Parallels?

      Thanks again for the quick response.

      Thank you, Luciana. My most immediate solution is to study Rise 360 and when I can afford to do so, I will purchase a laptop just for Storyline. 

      I will take this one step at a time. 

      RY,
