# How To Add Background Music To Virtual Tours

Adding background music to a virtual tour is a great way to let visitors enjoy the tour.

You may play soothing background music or play informative audio about the place while a person takes the tour.

This is a great way to connect with the visitor and often create more engagements.

Here’s an example of a demo tour with background music:

- **Autoplay**
  Enabling it will mean that the music will start playing automatically, the moment the tour loads.

- **Loop**
  Enabling it will mean that if the music has playing for it's full length, it will start playing again from the beginning.

**07.** Once you have set the background music, next publish the tour, and embed it on a post/page.

If you have enabled **Autoplay**, then clicking on this icon will pause the music. And clicking on it again will resume it.

If you did not enable **Autoplay**, a person will have to click on this icon to start playing the music.

That's it. You can now easily add background music to any of your virtual tours.
