Autoplaying Audio


Why do we avoid autoplaying audio?


Auto-playing audio interferes with accessibility for users who rely on text-to-speech software and significantly increases site bounce rates. Additionally, browsers like Google Chrome have banned autoplaying audio. Instead, we suggest:

  • Adding a media player with user controls.

  • Using design elements to draw attention to the audio or video content.
