How to start audio recording automatically when the user loads the page instead of clicking the button - Start Recording

timhunt commented 2 years ago

That is not possible. the question type does not support it.

I expect it is impossible to do - it would open serious privacy concerns if the WebRTC API allowed recording to start without the user taking an action.

Also, surely the student needs time to read the question and think about it before they can answer?

But I could just use onload function to run the js function when the page loads, right?

My guess is that if you try, the browser will block you. But, don't ask me. You can just try it. Let us know what you find.
