[SOLVED] How can I play background music in HTML?

I have already tried autoplay, but I think it doesn't work on the sololearn app.

David Martínez Castañón you can try this little trick to reach the same effect: $(document).ready(function(){ $(document).on("mouseover", function(){ $("audio").trigger("play"); $(document).off("mouseover"); }); }); Note: above code using jQuery, so you need to put this code in your <head></head> part: <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.1.js"></script>

Ok, thank you all! I tried but it seems that there's no way to play a song without a user's gesture. At the end I made a button to show the content and play the song using javascript.

The code will be something like this: Javascript var music = new Audio(audio.mp3); HTML <body> <button onclick="music.play()"> Play song </button> </body>

Background music in website (especially autoplayed one) is usually considered as very bad user experience.
