Adapt Learning Community: Play media on load

Is there any way to play media when the page has finnished loading?

/Anders

Not as it stands, no.

You could do this fairly easily by adding a call to this.onOverlayClick() at the end of the onPlayerReady function

Note that it would not work in iOS as iOS does not allow media to be played automatically - playback can only be initiated as the direct result of a 'user gesture' - except in iOS10 where you can now autoplay video if there's no audio track or the player is muted.

One thing to be careful of - if you have more than one media component on the page then they will ALL start playing on page load, which I suspect is not something you want...

How can I make this work with the authoring tool? I updated the file and added a console.log(), nothing shows up :/

I strongly suggest you get this working in the Framework before attempting to use it in the Authoring Tool
