audiate v2.0.0
audiate
What is this?
A simple library to indicate autoplaying audio content is present, and to detect and present some UI to begin playback if it's been blocked by Chrome's autoplay policy.
Why should I use this?
- Chrome has recently changed their autoplaying media policy. It is confusing/unpredictable and detecting ability to autoplay is inconsistent.
- You have an app that autoplays audio immediately and want to give some indication to the user if it has been muted.
- You probably shouldn't: Just build some kind of interaction into your app that triggers the playback in a natural fashion.
Installation
yarn add audiate
Usage
ambient
If you want to automatically detect whether or not audio is muted by the MEI and ambiently pop up a 🔇 indication but otherwise let interaction continue as normal. Any click/tap anywhere on the page after this should enable audio.
import { ambient } from "audiate";
// Include somewhere in initialization
ambient();
