Hero video with sound?

[spiker]

I have a video on my website, but it looks like Chrome/Safari will no longer support sound if the video auto starts. I have been using the revolution slider. I am ok with not having the video auto play, how can I accomplish getting the sound to work?

Hello @spiker,

Thanks for asking.

Actually it’s a browser behaviour. Recently Chrome has changed it’s autoplay policy. For more information on the changes, please take a look at following article:

Autoplay Policy Changes  |  Web  |  Google Developers

You can tale a look at following article for some possible resolutions:

Thanks.

So, is there a way to get a video to be a hero/full screen and not autostart? the sound is an important part of this video. We are ok with having visitors need to click play if that will allow for sound.

I have been using revolution slider for this but can embed a Wistia code somewhere if that would allow for the sound. I have not been able to figure out how to get it full screen?

As an alternative you can also take a look at Pro Theme video element too to display videos.

Thanks.
