Audio file does not play
I'm looking for a workaround, for this situation. I have a "dummy/blank" slide (to avoid the large play button) and then it goes to the real slide, but it won't play the audio unless the user clicks, how can I trigger the audio to play automatically? It plays fine when you preview, but not when it's published.
hi,
current browsers block audio and video with audio for good reason - but the exact behavior is different on Chrome/Firefox and Safari.
Firefox - (un)blocked list
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/block-autoplayChrome (MS Edge) - user interaction with the page:
https://developer.chrome.com/blog/autoplay/Mac Safari - "automatic inference engine":
https://webkit.org/blog/7734/auto-play-policy-changes-for-macos/iOS - user interaction with the audio element
there is no simple way to avoid play button - but the play button could of course be programmed more intelligently and only show up when it is really needed (-> javascript promise)
how about a feature request?
