How do I embed audio files from my library into my qualtric site to play automatically? | XM Community
Skip to main content
Dear all



I have a qualtrics survey that includes music samples (.wav) that should play automatically and change to next page once the music has finished. I know that there is a way to link to Youtube videos but ideally I'd like to keep all the music in my qualtrics library. Could anyone give me some advice and instructions? I'm not a coder unfortunately so any advice that makes it very clear to understand would be enormously appreciated!



Thanks

Andrew
Hi @AndrewM,

I have never done this before, but I'd guess that you'll just place URL of your video into the `src` attribute of the video tag (using HTML view of your question).

I made a video that covers how to embed video and sound clips if it's helpful.  Although there's a little HTML involved, I still prefer uploading somewhere externally (i.e., YouTube, Google Drive, a company or university website, etc.) and linking to the file.

I have some HTML examples here too if it’s helpful: https://controlc.com/56a43756

 

I have a video that shows how to do both video and audio files (files uploaded to sites other than Qualtrics) with HTML and honestly it’s easy enough even if you don’t know anything about coding. Here’s the video if you want to check it out at the very bottom.  

Alternatively, if you just want to see an HTML example, see below (change it to your own URL and file)

<audio controls=""><source src="https://www2.cs.uic.edu/~i101/SoundFiles/CantinaBand3.wav" type="audio/wav" /> Your browser does not support the audio element.</audio>
