You can easily trigger a YouTube or Vimeo video to automatically play when a user lands on your site.
Note: The autoplay feature does not work on mobile or tablet devices.
1. Copy the embed code from the Share tab on the video's page on YouTube/Vimeo, and then paste the code into the video block.
For YouTube Videos:
1. You will only need to modify a small part of the code YouTube gives you. Copy and paste the embed share code into a Video/Video Gallery/HTML block.
2. Change the Alphanumeric Code that appears between embed/ and ?rel=0. (The next step tells you what to replace it with.)
3. Grab your video's code from your YouTtube Video. Click on the Share button for the video, and then the Embed Code icon to get the embed share code. Be sure to only copy and paste the alphanumeric code that you will need to replace the example above.
4. Select the green Publish button to make your changes live.
For Vimeo Videos:
1. To modify the code to include an autoplay function, simply insert this after the alphanumeric code in the embed share code:
?autoplay=1
This is located at the end of the "vimeo.com" hyperlink, inside the quotation mark that appears before "width".
2. Select the green Publish button to make your changes live.
