Play mode in Studio

Use a visual full screen with speech and interactive controls

1 min read

Play mode opens your visual full screen for practice and teaching. Tiles can speak with text-to-speech. Many templates add interactive behavior—checking schedule steps, collecting tokens, matching flashcards, and more.

Overview

  • Open Play from the editor header.
  • Adjust Display (tile scale while speaking) and Audio (voices).
  • Multi-page visuals support linked navigation in Play.
  • Shared Play links let others use the visual without the full editor.

Getting started

  1. Open a visual with content on at least one page.
  1. Click Play.
  1. Tap tiles to speak or interact.
  1. Open Display to set Scale Tile: No Scale, Subtle, Medium, or Full Screen.
  1. Open Audio to choose voices for your languages.
  1. Exit Play to return to the editor.

Template behaviors (examples)

  • Visual Schedule — Check off steps as you go.
  • Token Board — Collect tokens (celebration when complete).
  • Flashcards — Switch Study or Match.
  • To Do / Finished, Fill-in-the-Blank, Wh- Questions, Count & Choose, Build the Equation, stories, and flip books each follow their own Play interactions.

Shared Play links

When someone opens a shared Play link, they can use the visual in Play. See Share Studio visuals for invite vs anyone-with-the-link access.

Tips

  • If Play is disabled, add content to a tile first.
  • For languages with limited voices, Studio may show a notice—pick the best available voice in Audio.
  • Use Full Screen tile scale when you want the spoken word to dominate the display.
