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 click...
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-autoplay
Chrome (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?
