    Is it possible to have audio playing with the header video? Or a way to toggle the audio on/off?

    Hi there,

    Your site is not hosted on WordPress.com, and not using the WordPress.com version of your theme, so we cannot help you here.

    For questions about the Twenty Seventeen theme you can post here:

    That said, I don’t think there’s an option to have the video play with audio, as the video header in that theme is intended to be used as a looping video background, not for displaying actual content. It is definitely not possible to add audio to the WordPress.com version.

    Also note that Google Chrome now blocks autoplaying video with audio from playing at all – all visitors in Chrome will have to click a button to play the video if audio is on which will very likely cause issues with this theme if it allowed this – and other browsers will likely be following their example soon.
