By calling the function volume() the volume is turned on/off and the button image also changes.

function play() {

  if (video.paused) {
    video.play()
    play_img.src = 'img/pause.png'; 
  }
  else {
    video.pause()
    play_img.src = 'img/play.png';
  }
}

function volume() { 
  var video = document.getElementById('slidevideo');
  var img = document.getElementById('volume_img');
  if (video.volume > 0) {
    video.volume = 0
    volume_img.src = 'img/volume_off.png';  
  }
  else {
    video.volume = 1
    volume_img.src = 'img/volume_on.png';
  }
}
