Sometimes, we may want to embed an auto-playing YouTube video on our web page.
In this article, we’ll look at how to embed an auto-playing YouTube video in an iframe.
Embed Auto-playing YouTub Video
To embed an auto-playing YouTub video, we can write the following code:
<iframe width="420" height="345" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/n4BSyc7ZLiE?autoplay=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
We add an iframe element with the width and height for the video.
In the src attribute, we have the YouTube video embed URL with the autoplay query parameter set to 1 to enable autoplay.
frameborder set to 0 removes the border around the iframe.
allowfullscreen lets us make the iframe full screen.
Conclusion
We can embed an auto-playing video in an iframe by setting the autoplay query parameter of the embed video URL to 1.
