No autoplay audio without interaction

Hello Roxanne,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing what you would like to create within your project file.
WCAG 1.4.2 requires that any audio that plays automatically must have a way to pause or stop the audio. I'd recommend including the Seekbar in your Player Properties:

I didn't really want to add another button to the slide. With Jaws software, that is another thing on screen to hear each time and it really clutters it up. I was hoping there was a player setting that might work. Most folks that use adaptive software for visual impairment find that having audio (or video) auto-start is very hard to manage because the program is already starting to read the page so you get 2 audio experiences simultaneously.
Haw'aa (Thank you)

Hi Roxanne!
We don't currently have a way to configure this by using just the Player. I'm looking forward to seeing if other community members have recommendations!
Also, your contact information came through as well. This Peek video will show you how to edit it out if you’d like!
