Hi
I’m using a background video element to play - yes a background video :slight_smile:
At the moment I don’t wanna use an url to some videoplatforms, thus I can’t use the video component because it is for external videos only, right? Since https://www.webflow.com removes the audio-channel of the video, I exported the code and replaced the video-file with the file that contains the audio.
The exported Markup of the Video-Element looks like this:
I thought that removing muted="" would be the solution, but it is not.
When I remove it, then the video does not play anymore.
It confuses me, because in the w3schools example 33 it works.
I also tried with some Javascript.
I added an ID to the Video-Element and added this Javascript before the closing Body-Tag:
function unMute() {
var video=document.getElementById("myVideo")
if(video.muted){
video.muted = false;
console.log('is unmuted');
} else {
video.muted = true;
console.log('is muted');
}
}
unMute();
But this does, in my opinion, basically the same like manually remove the Mute-Attribute in the Video-Tag.
Does anybody know how to play a Background-Video with sound?
Kind regards
