Viewing Automatic Audio Play

Automatic Audio Play



User: Carol Ann L. 10 years ago
I've added audio to my website but I would like it to automatically play while keeping the controls visible to turn off and on at will. Is that something that can be done?

What type of audio player are you using?

Not sure how to answer that. It's whatever comes with EverWeb. I just drag my audio into my site and a bar appears with controls on it but it doesn't come with the extras, like when and how it will work.

The EverWeb audio widget uses the mediaelement audio player which plays using HTML5 and falls back to flash for Firefox (which doesn't support MP3) and other older browsers like Internet Explorer which don't support HTML5.

The player doesn't support autoplay since this is not recommended on any website since it increases the page download time and annoys visitors.

The player could be made to autoplay but it will only do so in Chrome, Safari and IE V 9 and up. Autoplay is not supported on mobile devices for obvious reasons.

The default audio player has just been introduced and has no styling options.

I am working on a couple of new widgets. THIS ONE has styling options but doesn't have autoplay for the reasons given above.

THIS VERSION has been reduced to a simple button which could be place at the top of the page with a text box containing some exhortation to encourage visitors to click it!
