To add background music to a Webflow site, you can follow these steps:

  1. Prepare your audio file: Make sure you have your audio file in a supported format such as MP3 or WAV. You can use an audio editing tool or an online converter to ensure that the file is optimized for web playback.

  2. Choose where to place the music: Determine where you want the music to play on your website. Common locations include the home page or specific sections/pages that you want to enhance with audio.

  3. Add an embed element: In Webflow, you can use an embed element to add custom code to your site. To do this, drag and drop an embed element onto your page in the desired location. You can find this element in the "Add" panel on the right.

  4. Insert the HTML audio tag: In the embed element, click on it to open the settings panel on the right. Insert the HTML audio tag within the embed element. Here's an example code snippet you can use:

<audio autoplay loop>  <source src="your-audio-file.mp3" type="audio/mp3"></audio>

Make sure to replace "your-audio-file.mp3" with the file path or URL of your audio file.

  1. Style the embed element: Customize the appearance of the embed element to blend with your website design. You can adjust its size, position, and other properties using Webflow's built-in styling options or custom CSS.

  2. Preview and publish: Save your changes and preview your site to see if the background music plays as intended. Once you're satisfied, publish your site for the changes to take effect.

By following these steps, you can easily add background music to your Webflow site. Just remember to choose an appropriate location for the music and ensure that your audio file is properly formatted.
