Hello everybody,
I wonder, if there is a solution to have a video autostarted (unmuted)
Currently it‘s not possible with YouTube.
Does anybody maybe know other providers, where this works?

Hi @marcogk,
You can autoplay an embedded YouTube video.
Just add autoplay=1
to your URL and your video will autoplay on load.
However, keep in mind this won’t work on mobile phones due to limitations set by mobile browsers.
Best,

Hey @marcogk.
The restriction on playing videos unmuted is a Chrome restriction (with other browsers like Safari following suit) rather than a Youtube restriction. See: https://vimeo.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004485728-Autoplaying-and-looping-embedded-videos
I’d consider embedding an autoplayed, muted video and:
Sorry it’s not the answer you wanted. FWIW, I have a muted vid on my homepage and it works well.
Since April 2018, Google made some changes to the Autoplay Policy. You not only need to add the autoplay=1 as a query param, but also add allow=‘autoplay’ as an iframe’s attribute
So while embed youtube video, you will have to do something like this:
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID?autoplay=1" allow='autoplay'></iframe>
