    You may be interested to know that YouTube does NOT count video's set to autoplay as viewer counts for the video on YouTube.

      To make your video autostart change the autostart parameter from 'false' to 'true'.

      Look for a line of code something like this (this is a Camtasia video)

      <param name="flashvars" value="autostart=false[snip]

      On Camtasia videos you will need to look for TWO different lines of code, one below the other by a few lines (the second set of code lines are for IE browsers), and change them both to 'true'.

      That won't effect the controls, but it will allow for autostart.

        Thanks KJ,

        But this is a JING video in mp4 format uploaded to youtube, so there is no that line "<param name="flashvars" value="autostart=false[snip]"

        There is only "<param name"allowfullscreen" value"true" </param>
        and "allowscriptaccess"

          You could try adding that line of code, but in Camtasia that code line also includes the info for the first frame thumbnail, and background color, and looks like this:

          <param name=" <param name="flashvars" value="autostart=false&thumb=FirstFrame.png&thumbs cale=45&color=0x1A1A1A,0x1A1A1A" />

          Perhaps adding a line such as this will do the trick:

          <param name="flashvars" value="autostart=true" />

        Thanks for the heads-up about the TWO lines of code. I had just fixed one, and of course it wasn't working. You saved me a lot of headaches

    Thanks KJ,

    I just tried it, added the code <param name="flashvars" value="autostart=true" /> but it does not work

      If you have time, copy the code and send it to me in a PM and let me look at it. Sometimes two sets of eyes are better than one.

      No promises, but you never know...

    I use easyflv and when you're creating the code for the player it gives you the option of autoplay as well as different players - including a controllerless option.

    The only downside is that I've never figured out how to add it to a wordpress blog, but it's super easy to add the code into a static page, and it also works a treat on the OTO page of my butterfly sites.

    @Andrew easyflv seams like a good and not so expensive solution, but for now I've menaged to setup my youtube video on autoplay, I used this tutorial
    I still have to find solution to hide play controls
