System player
Items 1.6.1.6 and 1.6.2.5 of the Game Requirements
The system player triggered by the game doesn't appear in any browser.
The browser's system player allows you to control sound and video. To check the game, moderation launches it on mobile devices and desktop (for checking on a computer, make sure the player is enabled).
Disabling the system player
The system player appears when the browser detects playback via the <audio> or <video> HTML elements. To avoid this, use the Web Audio API — it works directly with the audio context and doesn't register a media session in the browser.
A typical scenario for playing sound via the Web Audio API:
- Create an audio context:
const ctx = new AudioContext(). - Load the audio file via
fetch()and decode it using ctx.decodeAudioData(). - Create a sound source —
AudioBufferSourceNode— and connect it to the context output:source.connect(ctx.destination). - Start playback:
source.start().
For more information about the Web Audio API, see the MDN documentation.

Make sure the player works. To do this, play a video or music in the browser, for example, a Unity video tutorial.
