Why/Use Cases

- Improve UX by not requiring users to pause a player before starting another one.

- Improving accessibility and UX for visually impaired users.

Automatically pausing HTML audio players when another one starts playing on a Webflow site

If you have multiple audio players on a page, it stands to reason that users likely wouldn’t want to listen to them simultaneously, which is why you can offer them a better user experience by automatically pausing one if another starts playing.

This can also be great for accessibility, making your website easier to use for those with visual impairments.

To pause HTML players when another one starts playing on your Webflow site, we’re going to use MemberScript #123 – One Audio Playing at a Time. Follow the link to get the code you’ll need to add to your page and watch a video tutorial on how to set everything up.

The only thing you’ll need to do to make this work is add our custom code to your page (or entire site), before the closing body tag.

That’s literally it, that’s all there is to it.

Conclusion

That’s everything, you can now go ahead and test your players on your live site.
