HTML5 game sounds don't work when running inside an iframe

[Yashash Agarwal]

Hello

I've been trying to run an HTML5 game within an iframe. Everything works, but on Chrome (specifically, on Chrome mobile only - works on desktop), sounds don't seem to work. I'm using Chrome 55.0.2883.91

The page with the game in the iframe can be found here: games.gamezop.com/g/H1be5Ef0Qp/?id=peSLSV

The direct link to the game is: play.gamezop.com/H1be5Ef0Qp/index.html?id=peSLSV

I've tried this with multiple games and multiple websites, but none of them seem to work. Would be grateful for assistance here!

Best

I think cross origin iFrames (which is your case, since games.gamezop.com is a different origin than play.gamezop.com) need a user gesture (a click or a tap) in order to be activated for Web Audio playback.

I believe it was changed recently to be this way.

See https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/blink-dev/51WbTwn0M_Y for details.

I am not sure if it's cross origin iframes. I tried putting up an iframe on play.gamezop.com and referenced a link from the same subdomain. I'm still unable to get any sounds.

The link can be tried here: https://play.gamezop.com/testgame.html

This has an iframe with src set to https://play.gamezop.com/HyCKrWd4/index.html?id=rJ49y5XJx

Any other thoughts on what the issue could be?

I am not sure.

Anyway, I forgot to mention that this is the wrong group for such bug reports or web development issues.

You can search crbug.com for an existing issue and star it. If you cannot find one, file a new issue using the "New issue" link on the same page.

Please, do not add a "+1" or "Me too" or "Confirmed" (or similar) comment. It just wastes the time of Chrome engineers and sends unnecessary e-mails to all of the people who starred the issue.

You can reply with a link to the found or created issue and might get triaged (and fixed) faster.

Thank you.
