How to make embedded email videos play with 1click?

by TechieTodd

I'm sending broadcast messages to my list with embedded videos using 1ShoppingCart. The email contains a thumbnail of the video with the play button on it (the same as a youtube video).

After the user clicks the thumbnail, they are taken my WordPress blog page. They then have to click the thumbnail again to make the video play. How can I make the video play with one click from their email?

Thanks

    what video player are you using, is it just a youtube embed or something else..

    can you post both the code for the email link and the code for the video link?

    you could set the video to autoplay on your blog page. I cant really suggest more than that without seeing the code

      If I do that the video will autoplay anytime anyone goes to the blog page. I only want it to autoplay when someone clicks on the thumbnail from the email.

      There is really no code... I'm linked the thumbnail to the blog page within 1ShoppingCart.
