I have an app that loads a webpage via a webview. I want to be able to play html5 video with muted audio when the page loads. Then when the user interacts with the video, I want to enable the audio. The idea is that the video plays silently until the user chooses to interact with it, at which point volume becomes audible (assuming the user's phone has volume on)
Setting up the automatic video playback isn't difficult, but I'm not sure of how to control the volume of the video. What options are available? Would it be possible to mute just the html5 tag playing? Would I need to mute/unmute the volume of the entire app itself? Is this possible?
I've tried searching through the documentation, but haven't found much to indicate that this is a possibility.
