Okay this is an example for the new embed code for youtube videos.

<iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="560" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8v_4O44sfjM" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen></iframe>

if you want to autoplay it, at the src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8v_4O44sfjM" add the ?autoplay=1 parameter

So the code will look like this:

<iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="560" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8v_4O44sfjM?autoplay=1" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen></iframe>

i tried this on my blog and it works ! Hope this help (:

Actually  you will have to use the     instead of   amp   for your first parameter only  If you use more than one parameter  you will then have to add   amp   to the chain   For instance  if you want to add autoplay and closed captioning  you will have to add this portion to your embedded video URL   autoplay 1 amp cc load policy 1   It would look like this    lt iframe width  420  height  315  src  http   www youtube com embed  oHg5SJYRHA0 autoplay 1 amp cc load policy 1  frameborder  0  allowfullscreen gt  lt  iframe gt

Just put   autoplay 1  in the url the video will autoload   So your url would be  http   www youtube com embed JW5meKfy3fY autoplay 1  In case you wanna disable autoplay  just make 1 to 0 as  autoplay 0

None of yours are solved my problem  But  I found a good solution for me to work properly right now  In between  tags write this code    lt div style  position  fixed  z-index  -99  width  100   height  100   gt     lt iframe frameborder  0  height  100   width  100        src  https   youtube com embed    CHANGE HERE WITH YOUR YOUTUBE VIDEO ID    autoplay 1 amp controls 0 amp showinfo 0 amp autohide 1  gt     lt  iframe gt   lt  div gt

You need to add an extra parameter  alongside the autoplay 1  allow  autoplay   making it    lt iframe src  your-video-url rel 0 amp amp controls 0 amp amp showinfo 0 amp amp autoplay 1  frameborder  0  allow  autoplay  encrypted-media  gt  lt  iframe gt

The only way I was able to get autoplay to work was to use the iframe player api    lt div id  ytplayer  gt  lt  div gt   lt script gt     Load the IFrame Player API code asynchronously  var tag   document createElement  script    tag src    https   www youtube com player api   var firstScriptTag   document getElementsByTagName  script   0   firstScriptTag parentNode insertBefore tag  firstScriptTag      Replace the  ytplayer  element with an  lt iframe gt  and    YouTube player after the API code downloads  var player  function onYouTubePlayerAPIReady         player   new YT Player  ytplayer             height   480           width   853           videoId   JW5meKfy3fY           playerVars                 autoplay   1               showinfo   0               controls   0                      lt  script gt

You are using a wrong url for youtube auto play http   www youtube com embed JW5meKfy3fY amp autoplay 1 this url display youtube id as wholeJW5meKfy3fY amp autoplay 1 which youtube rejects to play  we have to pass autoplay variable to youtube  therefore you have to use   instead of  amp  so your url will be http   www youtube com embed JW5meKfy3fY autoplay 1 and your final iframe will be like that    lt iframe src  http   www youtube com embed xzvScRnF6MU autoplay 1  width  960  height  447  frameborder  0  allowfullscreen gt  lt  iframe gt

Just add  autoplay 1 after url in embed code  example     lt iframe width  420  height  315  src  http   www youtube com embed  oHg5SJYRHA0  frameborder  0  gt  lt  iframe gt    Change it to    lt iframe width  420  height  315  src  http   www youtube com embed  oHg5SJYRHA0 autoplay 1  frameborder  0  gt  lt  iframe gt

YouTube Help says that  amp autoplay 1 has to be after the video ID - I assume  immediately after
