Youtube Widget - muting audio (Captivate 8)?

Has anyone successfully muted the audio of a youtube widget / interaction? How did you do it? I can see some possibilities of an iframe embed as a webpage, instead of the youtube widget.

I don't think that there are any volume parameters for youtube urls. I don't want to scrape the video and getting copyright might be harder than just linking.

Many thanks,

-Dave Kaye

Does the audio button/control on the CP playbar not mute everything, including widget video?

I could see where it wouldn't affect iframe audio, but would think it would work with the YouTube widget.

If not, the YouTube playback control doesn't include the audio button?

Erik,

Thanks for the note. It appears to me that the captivate player might remember the last youtube playback settings that the user had utilized. If a user mutes the widget at one point, it stays muted. Fortunately, the youtube player does include a mute and volume and we'll likely be okay. My fear was blasting the participant with audio. I can always include some text to advise my participants to mute.
