YouTube Embed Code Options – Autoplay On or Off

Hi Brian, Great article here. I was wondering if is there anyway we can disable double click that goes to youtube site.

Using the code below will not get you to youtube site when you double click it, it will just go fullscreen.

But using the code below, will get you to youtube if you double click it. (new default embed code)

The option i see with their difference was this:

http://www.youtube.com/v/4rkHMxrj-p0

and you cannot add the option autoplay=1&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0 to this option

http://www.youtube.com/embed/4rkHMxrj-p0 to become
http://www.youtube.com/embed/4rkHMxrj-p0&hl&hl=en&fs=1&autoplay=1&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0

I just want to know how to add autoplay and turn off the related videos using this option
http://www.youtube.com/embed/4rkHMxrj-p0

or disable the double click command that goes to youtube site or just make it full screen instead of going to youtube site.

http://www.youtube.com/embed/4rkHMxrj-p0 to become
http://www.youtube.com/embed/4rkHMxrj-p0&hl&hl=en&fs=1&autoplay=1&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0

I wonder if there is an option like that. Sorry for my long comments. Just make sure my point is surely understood.

Thanks.

Using the code below will not get you to youtube site when you double click it, it will just go fullscreen. (new default embed code)

But using the code below, will get you to youtube if you double click it.

i thought i forgot to paste the code, but i just knew the code was disabled by wordpress

Sorry. my comment looks spam..coz it has become many comments.

hey this code aint working any more wats going on

This code doesn’t work anymore ;-(

You’re the man, thanks just what I was looking for.

this old code doesnt work anymore. Actually, you will have to use the “?” instead of “&” for your first parameter only. If you use more than one parameter, you will then have to add “&” to the chain.

for any problem, just email me at burhangullu@hotmail.com

This is fantastic! Thank you. I’ve bookmarked it so I can just refer to this every time I post a video. So handy!

Thanks Brian, I have been trying multiple codes for my website and none seem to work. I placed this code in and Viola! Working Great!

Thank You

Since youtube has updated there embed code to an iframe now I was searching online to see how to make a playlist I made for my site to auto play when the page loads. Youtube doesn’t offer to much in the way of embedding options now. I came across this site when I was trying to figure out how to get it to auto play but this post has the old embed codes so I thought I would share how to get your videos or playlist to auto play since even on the youtube help section which was updated feb 2, 2011 I believe is not up to date with the new iframe code.

Eample of current iframe code (playlist):

After playing around with the “play in HD” check box option I notice a small bit of extra coded added to the end of the URL which was ” &hd=1 ” So I figured if I changed the [ &hd=1 ] to [ &autoplay=1 ] at the end of the URL it would make the video start by its self once the web page loaded which it did work :)

Example of current iframe code with auto play:

I have a live example of this on my website in the side bar of the site. Just click on my name to the left if you want to see how the video auto plays now. Also you can change the size of the video right in the script if the size options don’t work for you on youtube as they didn’t for me. Hope this helps anyone with the same problem I had cause I never did find the answer after search for over an hour online for such a simple option. :)

Just thought since this post talks about how to make the old embed code loop I figured I would put the iframe code to make it loop as well.

Example with auto starting and looping:

added &autoplay=1&loop=1 at the end of the youtube URL

code [ ]

Very helpful! Thanks Brian!

I spent hours trying different things until I found this page which helped me figure it out in 5 minutes. With the latest changes from YouTube, this is the code that works for me on both IE and Firefox. It gets inserted immediately after the URL, before the closing ”

?rel=0&frameborder=0&autoplay=1

Like Burhan points out earlier above, it now needs to start with the ? and use the & repeatedly. I did it with no spaces between the parameters.

The full code looks like this:

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

IMPORTANT UPDATE: There’s an update to this post. Although the codes on this post still apply to the old YouTube embed code, you can now use the newer YouTube embed codes which are HTML5 compatible and can be viewed on mobile Interent devices. You can view the latest update here: 2012 YouTube Embed Codes – Autoplay On and All Other Parameters

Auto playing videos on your website is the fastest way to make people leave. Please don’t encourage autoplaying, it’s annoying as hell…

Guys just use vimeo it sets these settigns as default and auto-generates a perfect code each time

The Auto play of youtube videos will no longer work following the code &autoplay=1

Excellent, thanks so much. Very helpful.
