Auto-Play Audio with Google Chrome

I learned that Google has changed its browser so audio doesn’t auto-play. Has anybody figured out a way around this? (Please keep in mind that I’m an amateur developer )

I’ve found a “work around” with using a transparent button and program it to play the audio…for whatever reason, this works. My concern is we’re starting in Captivate 2019. I can’t insert transparent buttons on the VR screens.

Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.

I just updated from Captivate 9 to Captivate 2019. I was a little behind. 🙂 Thanks for the link!

I learned today about the “Auto Play” not working…when I click the “Play” button at the beginning of the course, the audio worked great.

Strange because AutoPlay was already disabled in the second version of CP2017, which is already quite a while. Some people try to find workarounds, but I  consider that loss of time, since I suspect most desktop browsers will prevent AutoPlay in the future, not only Chrome.

Chrome, and other browsers may follow, Does prevent AutoPlay (nt only audio now in desktop browsers. That was already the case with mobile browsers since quite a while. YOu better have to live with it, and have a look at the many threads about making the splash screen more engaging, and it needs only one click of the learner to get the whole course started. If you use a workaround it may be broken in the next version or in another browser soon. Since almost two years I never create a course that Autoplays and that is not a problem.

Will post a link to a thread in another post, moderation can take hours for comments/answers with links.
