FAQs

Q: Can I add sound effects to a Sidebar or After Post/In-Line campaign?

A: No, it is not possible to add sound effects to campaigns that are embedded in the page.

Q: Will adding a sound effect slow down my website?

A: No, OptinMonster uses modern browser APIs to make the sounds rather than loading in sound files. This cuts loading time significantly and makes the campaign lightweight.

Q: Do the sound effects work with Internet Explorer?

A: No, because OptinMonster uses modern browser APIs to make the sounds rather than loading in sound files, the sound effects will not work with Internet Explorer.
