Add Background Audio Using a YouTube Video

Last updated

Follow

You can add background audio to a Rise Vision presentation using a YouTube video. This workaround plays the video’s audio without displaying the video itself. It’s helpful for adding music, voiceover, or ambient sound to your presentation.

⚠️ Important: This method is not officially supported by Rise Vision and may stop working at any time. If you'd like this to become a supported feature, submit a feature request here.

Instructions

  1. Open your presentation in the Rise Vision editor.
  2. Add an HTML Component to your presentation.
  3. In the HTML field, paste the following code:
<iframe
  width="0"
  height="0"
  src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID?autoplay=1&mute=0"
  frameborder="0"
  allow="autoplay"
  style="display:none;">
</iframe>
  1. Replace VIDEO_ID with the ID of the YouTube video that contains the audio you want.
  2. Save and publish your presentation.

Behavior Notes

  • The audio will only play when the presentation is actively displaying on a screen.
  • This method relies on YouTube’s embed and autoplay functionality, which may be affected by browser updates or YouTube policy changes.
  • If the audio doesn’t play, check your browser’s autoplay settings and verify that the video isn’t restricted from embedding.

FAQ

Can I use a private or unlisted YouTube video?

Yes, unlisted videos will work as long as they allow embedding. Private videos will not work.
