Hi,

I'd like to be able to do this, but when embedding the video I have to press play for it to start.

Is there and autostart facility (like Viddler have)

Thank you all,

Jenn x

add

&autoplay=1

to the end of the video url in the embed code.

Here are a list of all the fun things you can modify:

To take Josh's instructions one step further..

When you grab the embed code from YouTube, you'll see two URL's. Here's an example:

Here's the URL inside the code above:

http://www.youtube.com/v/I1qHVVbYG8Y&hl=en&fs=1 &

Here's the code with &autoplay inserted after "fs":

http://www.youtube.com/v/I1qHVVbYG8Y...&fs&autoplay=1 &

And, an extra tip, here's the cropped URL with the command for preventing related videos from showing after the video ends.. using rel=0 just before the &autoplay command:

fs&rel=0&autoplay=1 &

Hope that helps

Dave

Thanks
