Yes, Webflow can have a button to unmute a Vimeo embed video. Here's how you can achieve it:
- Add a Button element to your Webflow project where you want the unmute button to appear.
- Give the button a unique class name, such as "unmute-button".
- Go to the Elements panel and select the Embed element.
- Paste the Vimeo embed code into the Embed element.
- Make sure the Vimeo embed code contains the
muted
attribute. For example:
```html \`\`\`It's important to have the `?muted=1` parameter in the embed code to ensure the video initially loads in a muted state. - Go to the Settings panel and add a custom attribute to the Button element. Set the attribute name as
onclick
and the value as a custom JavaScript function, such asunmuteVideo()
. - Open the Page Settings and navigate to the Custom Code section.
- Add the following JavaScript code to the Footer Code section:
```javascript ```
This function selects the iframe element next to the unmute button and sends a postMessage to the Vimeo player API to set the video volume to 1 (unmuted).
Now, when the unmute button is clicked, it will trigger the unmuteVideo()
function, which will unmute the Vimeo embed video by adjusting its volume.
Note: This solution assumes you have access to add custom JavaScript code to your Webflow project. If you're using the Webflow Designer, you need to have a paid Webflow hosting plan to add custom code. If you're using the Webflow CMS, you will need a Business hosting plan or higher to use custom code.
