Simple video auto-play block - audio is muted. Custom code to play unmuted?

Hi Softr Community…

I’m using the simple vidoe autoplay block. I notice it’s always muted. However - I need the audio to play when users visit. Is there a way to, via custom code if any, to have the video play unmuted?

Thanks,

Hi,

This shouldn’t be possible as browsers have policies impeaching autoplay + sound unmuted on page load.

It’s or sound unmuted + no autoplay or sound muted + autoplay.

I don’t know any workarounds for this unfortunately

@matthieu_chateau - thanks!
Okay if this is the case - how can I create a video block where the video is shown and the person can push play to view the video? Take a look at https://www.outerview.io/
And the video block he has. I’d like to do that.

So this is a custom code block using an embedded Vimeo video.
In order to have exactly this you would need to sign up to Vimeo.com.

Though another solution could be using the simple video static block of Softr.
