Am I the only one having problems with the two videos about Bessie ( https://vimeo.com/542041258 ) & Jackie ( https://vimeo.com/541946756 )?

What do I have to do to enable sound for MP4 content in Firefox?

With kind regards,

Viktor

It is not entirely clear to me whether there is supposed to be sound in
the videos. As far as I can tell, I do not think there is supposed to be
any.

Hi Viktor!

No sound. My only recommendation is to enlarge them to full-screen size.

Thank you for your interest in helping us with feedback!

Thanks for your clarification!

Somehow, probably as part of the expected narrative around the two main characters, I automatically assumed / wished for sound as well ;-)
