How to mute the audio using amp-audio of Google AMP ?

Last Updated : 21 Dec, 2020

Introduction: Since the release of HTML5, audios can be added to webpages using the “audio” tag. Previously audios could be only played on webpages using web plugins like Flash. The “audio” tag is an inline element which is used to embed sound files into a web page. It is a very useful tag if you want to add audio such as songs, interviews, etc on your webpage. To embed audio in AMP pages you have to make use of the amp-audio tag.

Setup: To use the amp-audio, you have to import the amp-audio component into the head of the webpage.

<script async custom-element="amp-audio" src= 
"https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0/amp-audio-0.1.js"> 
</script>

To mute the audio of the audio file we will make use of muted attribute of amp-audio.

Example:

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html amp> 
  
<head> 
    <meta charset="utf-8" /> 
    <title>GeeksForGeeks | amp-audio</title> 
  
    <script async  
        src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0.js"> 
    </script> 
  
    <!-- Import the `amp-audio` component -->
    <script async custom-element="amp-audio" 
src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0/amp-audio-0.1.js"> 
    </script>

        } 
  
        @-webkit-keyframes -amp-start {

        } 
  
        @-ms-keyframes -amp-start {

    <!-- The `amp-audio` component loads the

        a responsive layout by default, but  
        you can achieve the same by combining  
        a `fixed` height with `width="auto"`.
