  Hi there!

  Implementing this would depend on how you’re hosting the audio file. There are multiple ways of putting Audio onto your site.

  Working With Audio

  If you embed using a shortcode, add the autoplay parameter to the shortcode:

  So if your embed was this:

  [audio mp3="https://example.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/example.mp3"][/audio]

  Make it autoplay by adding “autoplay=true”

  [audio mp3="https://example.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/example.mp3" autoplay=true][/audio]

  If you plan to using SoundCloud to embed the audio, here are instructions to setup auto-play:

  Let me know if you hit any snags, and include the post/page where you post the audio player.

  Best,
