Ever been to a website that had a video which automatically played as soon as you opened the page? Have you been wondering how to do that on your own page? Well if so then I am here to help! It’s really very simple to do so I will walk you through the steps. This will work with any site that lets you enter html code such as your website or your myspace page.
The first thing you want to do is to go to Youtube and locate the video that you want to put on your site. If you look to the right of your screen you will see a box with a link to the video as well as a box with Embed code. This embed code is what you will want to copy, so highlight the whole code and hit Ctrl+C.
Ok now that you have it all copied go into your site’s html editor and Ctrl+V to paste it in. Then highlight everything before < embed > and delete it and delete everything after < /embed > So only the highlighted stuff in the bottom pic will be left.
Now you want to add the code &autoplay=1 after the video url.
Then save it and you’re all set, your video will now start as soon as your webpage is opened. See that wasn’t so hard?
Ok so I have one more tip for you. Have you noticed at the end of a video, Youtube will show you other related videos they think you might be interested in? There’s an example below. This is great sometimes however if you are in network marketing for example, you may not want your prospects to see videos from other marketers. So let me show you how to take this little feature off. It’s also very simple to do.
So to remove and disable related videos feature, all you want to do is to add &rel=0 after the video url as shown below.
This has both autoplay and no related videos code:
