Audio in the background video

Charlotteleb

Hello, Thanks for Laytheme. I want to have the audio of my background video (for the homepage). Please tell me how it's possible to put on the sound ! My website is : http://hitohadakan.com/
Many thanks.

Hey!
Can you please update your website to the latest lay theme?
Please enter this js into "Lay Options" -> "Custom CSS & HTML" -> "Custom <head> content"

<script>
Frontend.GlobalEvents.on("newpageshown", function(layoutObj, type, obj){
	if(type == "page" && obj.id == 66){
		jQuery("#cover-region .background-video").attr('muted', false).attr("volume", 0.5);
	}
});
</script>

Hmm I think this js should work. Right now it doesn't work for me when I try it on your website. Does your video have sound at all?

Hey Charlotte, I guess this hasn't worked yet.
I purposely removed the sound of row background videos because I think it is viewed as bad practice to play sounds when a user visits your website.

Ok please take a look here http://laythemeforum.com:4567/topic/725/use-a-video-as-page-background/6

You can try to insert your video like that. But for the html remove " muted="" "

Also you would need to remove your current row background video from the row on your homepage. I hope that works for you!

Hello Charlotte!

Lay theme 1.98 is now available. With that you can mute or unmute a row video background!

Just right click on the row -> "set video background" and then uncheck "mute". :)

Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to have audio on by default on autoplay on a video in the gridder and also in the intro? Thank you
