Tagged: audio player
Hi! I have a problem with the module audio player. I´m adding one audio in each page I have, and I put the option “starts on load page”. When I see the web in the desktop version, the audio starts with no problem. But in the mobile version, the audio doesn´t play automatically, I have to click to start listening.
Any help with this?
Thanks
Hey Sergio,
No, unfortunately this is a restriction of mobile browsers to avoid unwanted content and to save data traffic. The user must start the playback manually and can decide if he wants to start the stream or not. If you search the web for “mediaelement autoplay mobile” you’ll find some articles about this issue like https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9075520/how-to-autoplay-html5-mp4-video-on-android or https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42160528/html5-autoplay-video-in-mobile-device#answer-42161532 or https://bitmovin.com/play-not-play-new-autoplay-policies-safari-11-chrome-64/
