Hi friends,  
Does anyone know if it’s possible to add audio to an accordion component item? Currently, you can add image, GIF and video.  
Any chance of this being added in a future release?  
Many thanks,  
Ben

Hi Ben,  
We’ve faced that a couple of times, would any of the workarounds be any good?

- Add video with the a waveform effect that responds to the sound - Premiere Pro has a default effect for this
- Add video with a still image
- Add video that is a couple of pixels high

Best,  
Andy

Hi @Andy_Moorman,

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I also thought of the 1px high video as a workaround, but the player interface interferes with the accordion text. I also tried setting up several single-item accordion components with a locked audio player in between each one. The idea being hitting the accordion button unlocked the player. But this was messy.

Hopefully our good friend @anon59780582 will consider adding this in a future release.

Thanks again @Andy_Moorman for the suggestion!

Ben
