    The video probably showed an extension that is no longer available. But there is this one https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...ent-Extension)

    But there is no native in build way to play sounds in FG.
    If there is something that you would like to see in Fantasy Grounds that isn't currently part of the software or if there is something you think would improve a ruleset then add your idea here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featu...rerequests.php

    Ok, thanks. Do you know if FG Unity will have sound capability at some point?

    It isn't planned that I am aware of.

    do you remember which video you saw? There was an older extension which allowed you to trigger sounds from within FG that is not longer available. Currently, there are 2 FG extensions commonly used for sounds.

    I wrote one specifically for working with Syrinscape sounds. It is available on the DMsGuild at https://www.dmsguild.com/product/301...iate_id=712946

    Celestian also wrote one called AudioOverseer which is free and available here on the FG forums.

    This video showing a session of Princes of the Apocalypse has some Sound feature being used.

    Yes, that one extensions is no longer available.

    Is it really not planned?

    I mean, FG already play a ring on turn start. Is'nt that already part of the work on making it play any other sound?

    Playing a small built-in sound is completely different from streaming/uploading sounds to all the clients in almost real-time.

    The ring on turn sound is baked into the FG executable. Thats a very different thing from managing and playing external content, whether actual files, streaming audio, or web linked content. That may be something they consider after Unity is out, but for now we use the various workarounds for getting and using audio within FG. I use syrinscape and my extension for it. It seems to work well enough for my group. There are other extensions available here on the forums as well to help with that. If FG ever does add more audio capabilities, I guarantee you extension authors will make use of it.

    Where can I find this sorcery?? Is the plugin just for FGC or can I use it in FGU?
