Hello,

 

I am excited to get my captivate 2019 software installed and just finished my project. However, when I publish the project, I got a black screen when browsing in both Chrome and Edge. Can you pls help? If so, that would be great. Your help is greatly appreciated.

 

  1. The project can display in Captivate and preview.

 

 

 

  1. I published the project. When double clicking on index.html to review the project, I got a black screen.

 

 

 

  1. The browser is supporting WebGL.

 

 

  1. I published the project as HTML5.

 

Thank you so much for your advice in advance!

    As Apple device I only have an iPad, and 360 slides in a Captivate project do play fine. 

    Do you have the same problem when checking out with one of the included 360 projects in Captivate? If those play fine, you need to check the 360 assets. If not, you need to check what is used to display 360° images/video on that device.

    Most HTML output is always meant to be viewed when uploaded to a webserver (or a LMS if you have enabled Reporting). Do not expect it to be functional when trying to double-click the index.html file in the output folder. The only moment where this is fully functional is immediately after publishing when you get the invitation to view the output. Please upload the output folder to a webserver and check using its URL.


    Thank you for being extraordinarily patient with my newbie issues!

    Thank you so much for the advice! I appreciate it. I tried it today on the LMS, it's working well.
