Auto Play



User: Edward H. 12 years ago
I was wonder how to set an audio file to start playing when the site loads.

Thanks.

Autoplay is not really a good idea and in fact most media players are better set to prevent preload so that they don't slow the page download time.
The audio player widgets use the mediaelement player which has no provision for autoplay.
If you really have to have this feature you should use and HTML5 audio tag in an HTML Snippet. The code is shown on THIS page.

Change the first line to this...

<audio controls autoplay>

Wish it was an option that we decide to use instead of using an outside source. Oh well, get what you pay for.
