How to autoplay embedded YouTube videos on your website in 2023?

I’m Going To Show You How To Automatically Play Your YouTube, Yahoo, and Bing Videos. Here’s the exact Code to Auto Start Videos and the Video AutoPlay Embed Codes: Including Google Video, Yahoo, Bing, MetaCafe, iFilm, MSN Video, Daily Motion, Break and Other Online Video Sites (Updated for 2021) Do me a favor and share this if you like it – and if you want help with your videos, don’t hesitate to call us up …

Option 1. Use This HTML (Website Code):

  1. Open your YouTube video and find the video that you want to embed.
  2. Below your video’s title, click on Share.
  3. Select your Embed tab. This will show you an HTML embed code.
  4. Copy your HTML code and paste it into the page where you want to add the video.
  5. If you have WordPress, go to New Post > Text (by default Visual tab is selected) and paste the code.
  6. Add this code: ?autoplay=1 right after the video ID.NOTE: After adding this code: ?Autoplay=1 your HTML code will look like this:
  7. Don’t forget to save & update your page before exiting after you make changes.
  8. Open your web page & check if the video plays automatically for new users.
  9. If the changes are not working, try to clear your cache and try again.

Option 2. WordPress Plugin: Use “YouTube Embed” for WordPress Websites:

Adding an autoplay tag to the HTML code provided by YouTube is the easiest way to autoplay embedded YouTube videos on your page. However, if you want more customization, you can use the YouTube Embed WordPress plugin.

Option 3. Here’s the old way (using code & flash player)

Here’s the Old iframe Code + Old Flash Code … (Note: May No Longer Work On Your Site!) Note: Google may (or may not) penalize auto-play videos – so I would recommend watching your visitor stats to see if they are affected. If it lessons your bounce rate than it would obviously be a good thing… Here’s an example (instructions below the video):  It’s fairly easy to do. Google updated their Embed-code to what is called “HTML 5” – this new code makes it a little more difficult to make Your Tube Videos Autoplay. But I’ll show you how here:

YouTube Autoplay Iframe Code – How to Make Your Tube Video Automatically Play:

  1. Very helpful, thank you so much!

  2. Hi there,
    Would you happen to know how to make this work on WordPress? Since the beginning of this year, WordPress seems to have gotten rid of autoplay, and even your above suggestion for Youtube videos does not work. Any help would be great!

  3. Dailymotion only makes iframe code available for their videos so what you provided is very much appreciated as the code can now be placed on social web sites that do not permit iframe coding. However, regardless of what I try, the video will not start automatically and must be started manually.

  4. Hi, thanks for the great post.
    What’s the code you use to force the video playing in HD mode? I can’t see it anywhere in the description.
    Thanks.

  5. Thank man! Helped alot with my autoplay needs! Only site to offer a real good broken down scenario of ways to make a youtube video autoplay!

  6. Yes – Just paste the Embed code directly into your text editor and add the &autoplay=1 onto it (don’t use the facebook video button).
