I was abe to add the title slide so that it showed at the beginning of the my project. But, for the life of me, I cannot figure out where I inserted the slide so it showed at the beginning of the project. I am enclosing a picture that has the first slide showing. Thanks for any assistance you can give me.

    You probably added an image of that title slide as poster image. Too bad, you still cannot choose just to add a slide directly as poster image, you need to create the image (an old request, never done).

    I disagree that the play button is a result of browser functionality. The browser does not put that up - Adobe does.

    While it is true that web browsers will require interaction in order for autoplay of audio to commence, this particular screen is being forced by Adobe. 

    I, for one, would appreciate an easy opt-out so that my learners are not forced to click it.

    Didn't you misunderstand the question? It was about 'how to add a poster image', although phrased differently. As I wrote I totally agree that it would be appreciated if we were able to choose a slide or a frame as poster image directly. I never wrote that the ugly grey play button was not created by Adobe.

    I was referring more to Rod's statement - not yours or that of the original poster.

    Sorry for the confusion.

    You are probably referring to the Auto Play option in Preferences > Project > Start and End options.  It no longer has any effect due to recent changes in web browser functionality.

     

    What you are seeing is the default way that all published Captivate projects begin now.  The user is required to interact with the content in order to have it start playing.  That's why there's a button in the middle of the screen.

     

    This has been the case for some years now and Adobe has explained the reasons here:
