    Hi,

    In my fullscreen slider on my website I have a button that says “watch video” When I click on it it loads a youtube video. How do I get the video to play automatically?

    Hey darrenheld2,

    It looks to be loading automatically already on my end, did you manage to get it working?

    Best regards,

    On my end it opens in a lightbox but it does not play automatically… I have to click on it. I would like to it play automatically.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the update, but I can’t reproduce that result on my end using Chrome. How can we reproduce the results you are getting?

    Hi darrenheld2,

    How did you add the link to the video in the button? Can you give us temporary admin access to your website in the private content box below, so that we can have a closer look?

    Best regards,

    Hi, I just added the youtube link to the button url. Sure, I added the login in private content.

    My friend who recommend this theme has it open on there website automatically, she said all she did was put the youtube link in the button. I attached the url to their website for reference.

    Hi darrenheld2,

    Yeah, I checked in Safari, your youtube video does not autoplay, hers does but not in Chrome on a Mac. I am really surprised because the autoplay is not really very welcome in the browsers these days.

    Best regards,
