Thank you for your response, Pascal.
Unfortunately, your choices do not make sense to me nor do they fit my needs.
I did add icons to ask my users to unmute, but they don’t always see that. Additionally, they miss the beginning of the video.
I also want to supply them with an audio recording only, and that’s especially not possible with mute as the default option. I’ve had the beta testers of my story miss the fact that there’s a recording there at all.
I will have to embed a link to an audio recording outside of the webstory plugin, which is unfortunate for a smooth user experience.
If you like to share with me the logic behind so many limitations in what otherwise is a lovely structure of breaking down things to episodes, I’d be happy to learn.
