HTML5 Audio/Video Tags

Hi:  If the answer to this is elsewhere on the server I apologize.  Most automated presentations rely upon audio within the frames.  Is there any projected date when audio (and hopefully video) tags will be supported.

Hi,

The adapt-conrib-media component renders <audio> and <video> tags.

I don't think I properly framed the question.  When a slide displays is there a means of also presenting audio.  i.e. can the frames (slides) be narrated.  There are a number of examples where an HTML5 audio tag was used within a frame but no narrated frames that I could find nor anything in the forums so I assume it is not yet available.  I really like the Adapt model but not being able to narrate a frame is for now a serious restriction.

Hey

You can make minor edits in the core component in the src folder and add this feature. Additionally you would also need a div which user will need to tap to start the audio on devices. As audio does not autoplay on devices.

Hope this helps.
