While Reddit is majorly a text-based app, you can still upload videos and images on the platform. Recently many users have had questions regarding the videos on Reddit and ways to unmute a video on Reddit. If you are among such users, then you are at the right place. In this article, I will tell you, How to unmute videos on Reddit.

There can be any reason for a user to unmute videos on Reddit. But one of the major reasons why you might need to unmute videos on Reddit is to listen to sound content, even if it is NSFW content. As Reddit mutes all the NSFW videos by default, you might have to enable the adult content first and then unmute it manually in order to view the video with sound.

So, without further ado, let’s dig in to learn how to unmute videos on Reddit.

Reasons Why Reddit Videos Are Mute

Sometimes there are videos on Reddit that are mute, and it gets a user confused over why the video has no sound. In the below-mentioned list, I have explained the major reasons why Reddit videos are mute.

1. The video has no audio: Sometimes, the video on Reddit is devoid of audio. A user might think that this is a glitch but make sure that e if it is marked as NSFW. In case it is NSFW, Reddit might have muted the audio by default.
2. The sound option is off: On the Reddit app, a user needs to turn on the sound in the settings in order to listen to the sound of the video. In case it is a normal video playing without sound, it means you need to change the settings and then turn the volume back, and it will work fine.
3. There Is Adult Content: Reddit, by default, flags the Not Safe For Work (NSFW) content. As such content contains nudity, pornography, or any 18+ content, all these videos are set to mute by default.
