How to Check the mute state of the video controller in iOS

[Dhana Srinivasan]

Hello , 

In My App I use   Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK (pod 'Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK', '7.69.0') to render video ads .

Now,  I want to enable video ads with custom video controls , curies to know how to 

Check the mute state of the video controller . 

There is no API to get the muted state from  GADVideoController. could you please help me to solve this .

but its  available  in  android , why this difference ?

https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/ads/VideoController#isMuted()

Problem statement :

1. Video ads enabled with custom video control , now I am able to set mute/unmute or play/pause without any issue .

But when the video ads loaded  , unable to get isMuted state to set my  sound button status ? what is the current state or what was the current state .

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Saroj,

Thank you for bringing this to us.

I can confirm that there are no "isMuted" boolean state for iOS GADVideoController. Could you please provide us a use case for why do you need "isMuted" boolean state in iOS GADVideoController. For us to bring this to the team and make a request for this to be added in the SDK.

Thanks @Pamela for your response , please find my use case here 

use case : 

In our App we use video Ads cards in a list(UICollectionView) manner with vertical scroll , here each cell as a video ad card .

when cell on visible area will play the video with sound mute/unmute , if user scroll up or down will leave the visible area will stop/pause  it .

Once again when it on visible area  it will resume the play but difficult part is how to set the mute or unmute state of sound button on ad card ? because from 

GADVideoController we can't get the previous mute state .

One more scenario when user tap on each Ads card , we navigate to detail screen with video Ads custom control enabled .

This detail screen is common for all Ads , Now , how to set sound button state ? was it mute or unmute ? because GADVideoController  does not say anything about that .

please have a look to my attachment , may be it can explain my problem . if I didn't explained it properly  feel free to reach me .
