Can I make the audio track automatically play when a page is loaded?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I actually have two questions, the first being what is written above. I know how to put the audio into the page where you have to press play for it to start but I was hoping to have the audio start playing when the page is loaded.

    The second question is can I insert audio so that when a tab is clicked a short audio file plays (similar to a beep sound). Thanks!

    Hey there!

    Can I make the audio track automatically play when a page is loaded?

    It depends on how you choose to play your audio. If you opt for embedding a Soundcloud audio file, then yes, you can opt for autoplay.

    Here are setup instructions:

    The WordPress.com audio player doesn’t allow this in the same way that embedding from Soundcloud will.

    The second question is can I insert audio so that when a tab is clicked a short audio file plays (similar to a beep sound). Thanks!

    No, you’d have to include the beep in the original sound file, if you wanted one before playback began.

    I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!
