Disable autoplay when reloaded for error message | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hi all,
I want the participants to listen to the audio just once, so I have set the audio to autoplay with the control buttons hidden. However, if I click "next" without selecting any response, the page refreshes (reloads) with the error message "Please answer this question" and plays the audio again. Is there a way to disable autoplay when the page is reloaded for error message (due to force response option)?
Thanks in advance!

Instead you can also disable the Next button when the page loads and enable only if a selection is made. This will not make the page to refresh.


Hi rondev,
Thank you for the comment! Can I also add a condition in which the next button is enabled only after the audio is finished (or maybe after a fixed interval)? So that participants can only click the next button when they have heard the audio stimuli till the end AND when they have selected a choice.

rondev can you elaborate on how that is possible? Thank you. I tried autoplay, but cannot interact with the survey pre-publishing without the file loading and reloading. I would like to disable the "next" button on the page to ensure the full file is played but not paused or repeated.
