YouTube Video AutoPlay Not Working

Recommended Posts

Site URL: https://spiritandspark.com/summit

Hello! I am trying to "embed" the code from one of my YouTube videos onto my Squarespace page so that it will play automatically.

The video code is:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SRS8D2mehFs" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I know that ?autoplay=1 needs to be placed somewhere so that the video automatically plays when a visitor comes to the website page. I've tried a few variations and I can't seem to get it to work.

Can someone please respond with the code to use or where ?autoplay=1 goes?

Thank you!

Hi , Just replace your code with this one it will work. 

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SRS8D2mehFs?autoplay=1&loop=1&autopause=0&muted=1"   allow="autoplay" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Please do mark it solved if it helps.

Hmmm... that isn't working. To be sure I'm on the same page:

1) I clicked to add "Embed" Block

2) I clicked the "Embed Data" </>

3) I copy/pasted the code

But nothing appears. No video on the website page. Suggestions?

Just opened up the link on my end it's playing video on autoplay would you please try to refresh or check in incognito mode? 

I tried it in Edge & Chrome (Incognito) and on my iPhone and it didn't work on any of those devices.

Close, you need to put "&autoplay=1" not "?autoplay".

Add that to the end of the Video ID at the end of the youtube URL.

It should say:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SRS8D2mehFs&autoplay=1" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
