Hi alll,
I have a question concerning my Qualtrics survey. I am trying to mute my video since the only sound you hear is noise, which is distracting for my participants. However, I can't seem to find out how to do it.
Currently I am using this HTML code:

It is a video copied from another survey in my library and I already, unsuccessfully, tried to add '&mute=1' after my url.
I hope someone can help me with this!

Hi there, if you still need, you can add a muted attribute to the video so that it starts with the audio turned off. Try adding a muted="true" to your html. Something like the below:

Or, adding an ID to the video and then adding a muted property with JS, like in the below.
HTML:

JS to OnReady:
var vid = document.getElementById("video1");
vid.muted = true;
