Now in order for you to make the video play as soon as someone lands on your page, you need to go back once again to the Text tab within the Editor.
For now, we have a video that when you press the Play button, it will start at the minute 3:00.
So, how do you set it to autoplay?
From the last code:
<iframe src="https://www.youtube com/embed/3jTjBt0Enyw?start=180" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
We will need to add the following code:&autoplay=1 at the end of the second of where we want the video to start.
With the code added, it should look like this:
<iframe src="https://www.youtube com/embed/3jTjBt0Enyw?start=180&autoplay=1" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Don't forget to add the point between youtube and com!!! (youtube.com)
The final code version, in the editor, will look like this:
*Make sure that you Update the post/page before leaving!
I hope that you enjoyed this training! :D
Cheers,
Andrei.
P.S. There is no embed button on Youtube now?

You can also adjust the size of the video so it looks balanced on your post page. The code looks like-
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/eBG5PQuW6oo" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>
In the width and height codes, change the numbers (be sure you don't delete the parenthesis, stay inside them) to fit your screen better. Be sure that the new numbers are in the same proportions as the original ones.
Hope this helps!
But have also discovered an even quicker way of doing this through just uploading the video through the "Add Media" option on a post and instead you just select the add URL option.
Need to do a training like this myself but not sure where I start?
This is great information. Thank you for sharing this with the WA community. I will begin to use this wonderful trick on my videos I have already published.
Have a wonderful day.
