I\'ve created a simple video block with muted (for mobile autostart) but now i can not change the mute state...

I used that repository , fiddle link would be great.

Answer 1

Glen's Answer is spot on, I just want to provide insight for why it was not working for Özgür, the OP (and myself, which is what led me here).

Basically it comes down to the fact that the muted property and the muted attribute are different. It doesn't seem super well documented (that I have found), but the behavior I experienced is that the muted attribute (accessed via element.getAttribute and related methods) impacts the initial state, but toggling it impacts nothing. On the other hand. It seems the muted property (accessed via videoEl.muted, as Glen pointed out), is how to change the muted state after page load.
