Is it possible to have a Vimeo, YouTube or HTML5 video autoplay with sound in Canvas slider (or any of the other sliders in Canvas)?

I would like to have a fullscreen/full width intro video autoplay with sound when people visit the site, preferably a Vimeo video.

I've read the documentation on Canvas Slider but could't find any information on autoplay video with sound.

I'm still searching for possible solutions to autoplay videos with sound either in a slider or embedded in the page/section, so visitors first see a intro video.

Hello,

You can consider using a Fullscreen Youtube Video:

<div class="section yt-bg-player nomargin dark full-screen" data-quality="hd1080" data-start="20" data-stop="40" data-video="http://youtu.be/A3PDXmYoF5U">
	<div class="container-fluid vertical-middle center clearfix">
		<i class="i-plain i-large icon-line-video divcenter" data-animate="fadeInDown"></i>
		<div class="emphasis-title nomargin" data-animate="fadeInUp">
			<h2 style="font-size: 56px;">Section with Background Youtube Video</h2>
		</div>
	</div>
</div>

This will definitely work fine. Hope this Helps!

Thanks, but the video is without sound (muted).

Is there a setting so i can play the video with audio?

I have it somewhat figured out; I just add this to my video

data-mute="false" data-volume="8"

Is there a way for the user to gain control of the video? (pause, volume etc.)

Hello,

Unfortunately, currently user controls are not supported on the Youtube BG Video but we are already working on a solution for this and will release them in the Future Updates really soon. Thanks for your Patience.

Meanwhile, do let us know if we can help you with anything else or if you find any further issues with Canvas.
