mute videos - atfrederiksen - 08-13-2021
Is it possible to mute video stimuli in Finding Five?

Is this from the perspective of "preventing participants from muting videos", by muting the sound in the operating system? Or are you asking if we should have a feature that allows participants to mute videos?
Assuming the former, I think there's nothing we can do, unfortunately. Web browsers do not have access to such system level information:

Oh, I was very unclear. No, I would like my videos to play without their sound. I can deal with this manually by editing the sound out of my videos, but if there is systemwide way to make a video's sound NOT be audible, then that would save me a lot of editing work

oh gotcha. For the time being, you may have to remove the sound from the videos manually. Sorry. We'll try to include this feature in our mid-september grammar update.
