Digital Signage Video Playback - can it be unmuted by default?

Update: 

Okay, it finally started to load. Not sure why it wasn't loading just now. However, I realise that the audio from the video is muted by default. Is there anyway to make it unmute by default?

Hi I am trying to set up a digital signage.

My set up will be a raspberry pi and the signage will be displayed via the web feed. 

I am currently having issues playing a video through the feed. My video will just stay at the first frame and refuse to play. Is this the expected behavior? I tried using my Mac's Chrome but it refuses to play too

    The videos first have to go through a conversion process in order to stream them on the web easily. We need to have better indication of this. Today, you just have to wait a bit and then it will start working as you experienced.

    As for muted by default... this is actually a browser limitation in newer browsers. They do this since our code is starting the video manually before user interaction with the page. They prevent us from playing audio without user interaction as a way to combat spammy sites that might play video/audio you wouldn't want when just visiting.

    So we have to add mute button. I guess we could force you to click something the first time the page loads, and then audio could be unmuted by default. (I would have to try this out to see)
