The player


The Storyline player is essentially the frame or shell for your course. It is highly customizable and can include features such as menus, resources, notes, and media controls, among many other features.

Storyline's default player is effective for almost any training situation, but if you want your story to stand out for your audience, you might consider some of the options for customizing the player. To access the player, select Player from the Home tab.

You will be presented with the Player Properties screen, and will notice that the player defaults to enable the Resources link in Topbar Right, the menu in the sidebar, the title on the left, and the Volume controls. You can see a preview of the selected Player Properties on the right-hand side of the Player Properties window.

It is highly recommended to select and deselect all of the options to see exactly what they do. The preview on the right will show you what your selections have done, and you can always hit CANCEL and go back...
