Playsound onstart only works in Chrome when loading whole pano from hyperlink

  • I have tried playsound command in in both my <krpano onstart=''" and in my <scene onstart=""


    Audio start consistently in Microsoft Edge and FireFox on PC.

    But in Chrome (or Safari on iPhone) if I type in the url directly the audio does not start unles I click on the thumbnail and reload the first pano.

    But if I click on a hyperlink to the same exact pano url the audio starts everytime.

    Please help.

  • Hi,

    Chrome is blocking video and audio autoplay since version 66.

    The next krpano release will offer the 'autoplay-workarounds' that are already there on mobile also for desktop browser.
    That means in this case krpano will wait for the next user-interaction (e.g. a mouse-down) anywhere on the screen and use that to start playing the audio or video.

  • But the odd thing is audio plays when I click a link on the same domain to the same tour.html file. why is this?

    But not if I enter tour,html url directly and hit enter.
