# audio Plays background audio for a full-page template when the template is the top-most document in the navigation stack. ## Overview Each document page that plays audio in the background must have its own `audio` element. If the same URL is used between pages, audio will continue to play when the new page is displayed. The `audio` element only supports unencrypted audio. ```xml ``` ### Subelements of audio - [asset](/documentation/TVML/asset) ### Elements that Use audio - [background](/documentation/TVML/background) ## Topics ### Valid TVML Attributes [binding](/documentation/TVML/binding) Associates information in a data item with an element.
