Use of “Link” option starts playback muted

[Solved]

JamesCC 4 years, 7 months ago

I would like to create some links to index the video. I’ve tried using the chapters facility (vtt file) but unfortunately that doesn’t render well.

I notice you can also use the “link” option to start the video at a specific point. This would do as an alternative, except when I use the link the player starts muted? (Chrome on a Windows PC)

Any solution so that I use the link and it not start muted?

Okay this was an issue caused by “auto mute” which is triggered if you use the link through the browser URL bar, but not seen if you create a link on the page the video is on.

I appreciate “auto mute” is a browser feature.

Hello James,

browser do what they can to avoid audible autoplay. However at leats in Google Chrome if you have interacted with the videos before, it will allow audible autoplay.

I see that when I open https://foliovision.com/player/demos/video-linking#fvp_iHoDxrz2Plc?t=1m35s I get no sound even though I use our website every day.

So we need to fix this.

Thanks,
Martin
