I’m using the code from this question to autoplay an iframe embedded Youtube video

I’m using the code from this question to autoplay an iframe embedded Youtube video and to enable various external controls for the video (eg- mute, unmute) https://stackoverflow.com/a/7988536/262047

Is there any way to fire an event when the user toggles the mute button? Something similar to onStateChange?

For background, this is what I’m trying to accomplish:

  • I have videos on several pages, each of which start playing automatically. There is one video on each page.
  • The videos start out muted, and then I have a button which toggles Enable/Disable Sound. When the button is clicked, it unmutes the Youtube video and sets a session cookie telling any other players that the user has enabled sound.
  • Once the cookie is set to enable sound, if the user goes to another page with an auto-played video, the sound will be turned on. Likewise, if there is no cookie, or if the cookie is set to mute, then all auto-played videos will start out muted.

I have all of the above working, but with one problem: If someone uses the unmute button inside the video player, then the cookie does not get set, and the video will again be muted on the next page. I want to be able to catch the unmute event from the player, and set the cookie accordingly.

    I do not think there is any event fired for it. Only thing I can think of is running an interval and checking the mute status with player.isMuted().
