I’d like to request enabling plugins in prototype mode. I’ve been working on a plugin called Punchcut Audio Player that allows users to prototype audio in design mode, and we’ve received numerous requests to extend its functionality to prototype mode as well.
Prototypes are becoming more than a click-through of screens. We’re using them as story-telling tools, interactive exercises for user research, and demonstrations of multisensory/multidevice systems. With the addition of variables, prototypes could evolve even further.
Given the current limitations of prototypes, my team is looking to other tools and workarounds to keep up with our changing prototyping needs, but we do want to stay within Figma.
Over the past 2 years, it looks like others have been requesting features that would be solved by this as well:
Audio In A Prototype
Voice Prototyping On Figma
Give Us A Way To Snapshot Prototypes And Send Snapshot Links
Bringing Automated Testing To Figma Prototypes
Communicating Between Prototype And Figma Plugin
Feature Request Prototype Integration
The endless possibility and flexibility of plugins in design mode is what makes Figma stand out as a tool and we would love the same empowering capabilities in prototype mode.
