As others have done in the past, changing video_mute to false breaks the video in most browsers, but does play the audio for a bit until it breaks in Chrome. Putting in the checkmark as proposed here does not work either: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/color-section-background-video-un-mute-activate-sound/
Please. How do I get a simple background video embedded into a color section to play the audio of the video in the background?
Hi,
Thank you for the inquiry.
The edit should not break the page or video because it only enables the audio. However, please note that media files will not automatically play on page load if audio is enabled. You really have to mute the video if you want it to play automatically.
Chrome’s autoplay policies are simple:
Muted autoplay is always allowed.
Autoplay with sound is allowed if:
User has interacted with the domain (click, tap, etc.).
On desktop, the user’s Media Engagement Index threshold has been crossed, meaning the user has previously played video with sound.
The user has added the site to their home screen on mobile or installed the PWA on desktop.
Top frames can delegate autoplay permission to their iframes to allow autoplay with sound.// https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/autoplay-policy-changes
Best regards,
IsmaelSo, I used a video element where the controls are visible. Still auto play video starts in mute, is there anyway to start with audio?
Hi,
is there anyway to start with audio?
This is not possible, unfortunately. As described in the article above, autoplay is only allowed if the media file has no sounds or if the current user has previously played a media file before or has passed the Media Engagement Index threshold.
For further inquiries, please do not hesitate to open a new thread.
Have a nice day.
Best regards,
Ismael
