How to Use the Custom Mute Indicator

How to Change the Mute Indicator


The mute indicator is a visual element that appears when a video starts with the sound turned off. You can now customize it with a static or animated image (GIF, PNG, or JPG) to make your player even more aligned with your brand's visual identity.


This customization is especially useful for sales pages, where every detail can impact conversions.



How to Configure a Custom Mute Indicator


  1. Go to the "Videos" tab in your dashboard and click the video you want to customize.


  1. On the right-hand menu, click the "Smart Autoplay" section.


  1. You’ll see several indicator types available:
  • None: the video won’t show any mute indicator. The user will need to unmute manually.
  • Minimalist: shown in the top-left corner, occupying minimal screen space.
  • Small: appears in the center of the screen in a small format, with customizable text, colors, and more.
  • Medium: same as above, but with medium size.
  • Fullscreen: covers the entire screen and supports customization.
  • Custom: new option allowing you to upload an image or gif up to 5MB.



1. Uploading Your Custom Image


In the Custom tab, click "Add image" and upload a file in GIF, PNG, or JPG format.




2. Adjusting the Indicator on the Player


After uploading your image:


  • Position the image wherever you want on the screen.
  • Adjust scale (size), horizontal and vertical positioning, and rotation.



💡 Tip: Use GIFs for animations or PNGs with transparent backgrounds for better visual customization.



3. Publishing the Changes


To activate the new indicator:


  • Click the "Publish" button in the bottom-right corner.


⚠️ Important: Changes won’t be visible in the final player unless published.



4. Reusing the Image in Other Videos


Your custom image will be saved to a shared media library.


  • When configuring other videos, simply click the already uploaded image.
  • The change will be applied immediately after publishing.


⚠️ Note: Editing an image in the library will update all videos using that image.
