Anyone know of or able to make program/extension to set facebook video volume?

CatzRuleZWorld

When I scroll through my facebook feed and want to watch a video I have to click play and asap change the volume or it'll be WAY too loud. I normally turn it down to about 10%. When I get to the next video or reload the page I have to do the same. It doesn't save the volume from the previous time. I would think there would be a way to make a plugin or something to make the HTML5 video set to a certain value when it loads. I have no idea how hard it is to make a chrome extension or if I just need a javascript something? Any solutions? I've tried a few extensions that look like they might help and can't find one that works. I have my computer volume set pretty low and set other programs like games or skype down low too. I then also have all the volume sliders in youtube, spotify, pandora set low so it's just facebook that I can't lower.

If Facebook uses HTML5 for their video playback, you could use Javascript to automatically set the volume. The downside is that you'd need to get the ID of the element to do so.

<script>      document.getElementById("Element_ID_Here").volume=="0.0";</script>

The volume is set and retrieved in decimals, so for example 0.5 would be 50%, and 1.0 would be 100% volume. It also accepts more decimal places such as 0.01

It's completely blown out of proportion. Also if you're the least bit worried about data gathering then you should go live in a cave a 1000Km from the nearest establishment simply because every device and every entity gathers information these days. In the current era privacy is just fallacy and nothing more.
