Hi Glide Gurus Is there a way to count the number of times the play button was hit for an audio file? ---

Have you checked if the audio component gets other actions besides playing the audio. I have not checked it out myself. Edit: I just checked it out and it does not have a way to set up actions. ---

LOL it’s actually good to have so we can know how many people are watching the videos or listening to the audio files ---

I doubt it would be possible with our current audio player: the audio player depends on the browser, because each browser has developed their own ‘default’ player that way developers don’t have to make their own. ---

Directly in audio component, we can’t, but… +1 for this ---

Nothing as of now, as the play button in the audio doesn’t actually let us have any actions tied with it.
