How to fix : play() failed because the user didn't interact with the document first?

I created a background music that automatically plays when the page loads but sometimes it can't play and gives me an error like this "Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: play() failed because the user didn't interact with the document first. https://goo.gl/xX8pDD" How to fix it? this site always plays background music without error, I don't know how they do it , example : https://techvr360.com/demo/hongduc_v5/vi_tour/index.html

That site is not playing any sound either if you don't interact with the pano.

I would put something in a mousedown event.

something like (untested)

Source code

 
1
2
3
4
5

<events name="ondownevent" ondown="playbackgroundsound()" /> 

<action name="playbackgroundsound" >
playsound(bgsound, "sound.mp3");
</action name>



I'm not a fan of playing sound in the backgroudn tho. If a site does that, my response is to close it.
I believe it is more common / user friendly to ask to enable background sound and start playing if the answer is yes.
