[SOLVED] Audio will not play without a user interaction

[Marquise_Edwards]

Ok so instead of autoplaying when the game starts,the audio starts when the user press the game instead??
Is this a bug or was this what this function was made to do?

As designed unfortunately. Most browsers won’t play audio until there is some user interaction. Nothing PlayCanvas can do about that.

Google policy change on audio

A number of my projects have been affected by the recent policy change Google implemented on audio. If you haven’t seen it yet in projects with audio (appears as a warning in console) here’s the link: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/autoplay-policy-changes#webaudio. It says to resume the sound after the user interacts with something on the page, but I can’t get it to work in any of my projects. Some of them play a sound when the user presses a button, like a character jumping,…

My projects also have been affected by it. The only thing I do is put a text that says, “Click to play music.”

Lol I may just add a button to it

Then how does youtube work when playing a video automatically with audio?

[yaustar]

That’s a good question I’m actually not sure if there is an allowlist for websites that is agreed by browsers developers.

At least for me, a new installation of Firefox will not autoplay YouTube the first time you go there, but will remember the decision to autoplay after allowing it once.
