Background music now works for the
full duration of interactive videos.

Background music for interactive videos
Before, background music would stop during scenes with quizzes and branching, and only play in non-interactive scenes. We changed this, so now all interactive scenes support music, and you can have your
background audio playing throughout the whole video, with no interruptions โ even if it has branching and quizzes.
With this update, you can:
๐ Include
background music
in branching scenarios and quizzes๐ฃ๏ธ Make your interactive videos
more immersive with audio
๐ถ Add relevant
sound effects
to your interactive scenes We hope that this update will help you create even more engaging interactive videos!

"Apply to all scenes"
will now work on all narration boxes. 
Bug fix: "Apply to all scenes"
We've been getting a few reports that
"Apply to all scenes"
didn't work properly for voices, and some narration blocks were left with the old voices. With this fix, any time creators choose to apply a new voice to
"All scenes"
, the voice will be replaced in all the scenes and narration blocks with that avatar or voice.
Note:
This may not apply if the language code or gender are different (in case of narration without an avatar). Thank you for your patience, and don't hesitate to reach out to our team if you spot any other bugs โ we'll be quick to resolve them! ๐ ๏ธ

๐ป What's Improved: Instant Avatars With Your Webcam
You can now record your
custom Instant Avatar using your webcam.

Record custom avatars with your webcam
Since we first released Instant Avatars, a few creators asked us to make it easier to record custom avatars directly from their computers. To answer their request, we've added a "
Record your avatar
" option to Instant Avatars โ so now, you can easily create your own avatar from a quick webcam recording.

We hope that this update will make it even easier for you to personalize your videos.

๐ผ๏ธ What's Improved: V2 PPT Import
You can now edit the contents of existing PPT presentations directly in Colossyan.

[Beta] V2 PPT Import
We're excited to announce that weโve just released the beta version of our
PPT Import!
You can now edit the content of your existing presentations directly in Colossyan. Hereโs how it works:
- Go to New DraftโUploadDocumentand selectImport Document.
- Upload your presentation file(this update only applies to PPTX files, not PDFs or DOCs) under 20MB.
This new import feature automatically converts your speaker notes into scripts, and you can edit both text and images in your slides, making it easier than ever to work with your existing presentations.

Important notes:
This feature is still in beta, so there are a few limitations:
- Charts and some media will appear as screenshots.
- Some scenes, texts, and image placements might need fine-tuning after import.
But with a few adjustments, youโll have an editable, flexible video draft. And for anything that doesnโt convert perfectly, you can always screenshot and upload specific slides directly into your scene as images.
For a step-by-step guide and more information, check out this help article:

๐ข Other updates:
Video ratings
Weโve added a pop-up to rate your videos, helping us understand your experience and make Colossyan better.

Error messages for interactive videos are now clearer, making it easier to identify and resolve issues.
We hope that these updates will improve your Colossyan experience!
