No sound

Hi apkajanu,

Thanks for using Video Background!

As of version 2.7.0 of Video Background, playing sound is no longer an option on autoplay. However, you can enable the tap to unmute button so your users can engage with the video’s audio.

This is due to the new policies implemented by Chrome and Safari to not play HTML5 videos on autoplay when the sound is enabled.

You can learn more about these changes here:

Thanks.

Where is the ‘tap to unmute’ option on a background video?

The tap to unmute setting should be in the metabox settings. Or you can set the “tap_to_unmute” flag in the shortcode.
