Is it possible to have a toggle that plays/mutes the audio of a video when both are within a component?


I have successfully made this work when the video is on the page as an asset and only the toggle button is a component. But now I have both within a component (which I need to animate it) the toggle will not work.


A play/pause the video toggle will work if I make the video itself clickable - if that matters at all.


Here is an example prototype of what I’m doing: https://www.figma.com/proto/ZqSiLuG5N0Rp89qo2aeUKy/Mute-Issue?page-id=0%3A1&node-id=1-123&viewport=1181%2C75%2C0.56&t=UbWgziaVFjqiOpci-1&scaling=scale-down&content-scaling=fixed


The placeholder videos and animation probably don’t make much sense out of context but I wanted to share the component exactly as is. If you scroll down the page the video will expand and the audio toggle will be visible.


In reality there is a short 1-2 second loop. And when the component expands the longer video is made visible. It’s more seamless than the example I shared with random placeholder!


You can also see inside the file here: https://www.figma.com/design/ZqSiLuG5N0Rp89qo2aeUKy/Mute-Issue?node-id=1-123&t=Ipd04k7EfLy4JF2t-1


That file will show the canvas, video component and the separate mute/unmute toggle button.


Hope someone can shed some light on this!


Cheers,

Steve
