I have a header video and bydefault it needs to be muted so it can be autoplayed on all browsers, I want to hide all video controles at the same time give options for users to mute and unmute the video as they wany, I want to change onClick funtion of the video from Play/Pause to be Mute/Unmute, How can I do this?
I tried to tweek some solutions from Stack but I couldn't figure out how to do it.
You can use the muted
attribute to toggle the audio of the video, as long as your video is muted by default.
const video = document.getElementById('myVideo');
video.addEventListener('click', () => {
video.muted = !video.muted;
});
It's also possible to do it directly using the html onclick
event attribute without using a separate script:
<video id="myVideo" width="320" height="240" autoplay muted onclick="event.target.muted = !event.target.muted">
<source src="sample.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
