Adobe Captivate - Get Rid of Blank Project Startup

Since the availability of Adobe Captivate (2017 release) Update 1, users have noticed that the autoplay play feature is no longer functioning in desktop browsers. This is actually more to do with changes in the browsers than it is with Adobe Captivate. The reason autoplay has been disabled is to prevent media from playing automatically in the browser. While this is good news when you are surfing the net and bombarded with multimedia advertising, it makes eLearning grind to halt before it even gets started. While I can't solve this problem for you, I can show you how you can replace the blank white slide and boring play button with something more exciting and with something that looks more by design than what's there now.

Adobe Captivate - Custom Start for Mobile

Working with stakeholders can sometimes get challenging when you need to educate and set their expectations with regards to the norms that most of us take for granted. One example of this is the fact that mobile OS platforms don't allow for the auto-playing of content on the web. Unfortunately, this includes eLearning. What this means to you and I is that when you publish an eLearning course for the web and access it via a mobile device, learners will need to click an extra play button to get started. In this Adobe Captivate Quick Tip, I show you how you can customize the start project screen when publishing for mobile devices to at least make this a little more interesting to look at.
