June 4, 2008



If you want to remove starting play button from youtube video and want to that youtube video should autoplay when any one load the web page that contains youtube video, you can easily modify the youtube embedding code for this purpose.

Here is the step by step procedure.

Step 1- Copy the embed code of youtube video and paste it on notepad.

For example the embed code for titanic video is

<object width=”425″ height=”355″><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/uO_vFuzPJvc&hl=en”></param><param name=”wmode” value=”transparent”></param><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/uO_vFuzPJvc&hl=en” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” wmode=”transparent” width=”425″ height=”355″></embed></object>

Step 2 - Remove the initial portion of the code from <object to before <embed

So now the code is

<embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/uO_vFuzPJvc&hl=en” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” wmode=”transparent” width=”425″ height=”355″></embed></object>

Step 3- remove the last </object>

now the code is

<embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/uO_vFuzPJvc&hl=en” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” wmode=”transparent” width=”425″ height=”355″></embed>

Step 4 Add &autoplay=1 in the last portion of url of Youtube video in the code

now the code is

<embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/uO_vFuzPJvc&hl=en&autoplay=1″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” wmode=”transparent” width=”425″ height=”355″></embed>

If you put the last code in blogs, myspace or facebook. The video will play automatically without pressing play button. Above Titanic video is embedded with last code.

      Hello,

      I have a few videos on myspace, original codes were edited to remove the ‘embed’ code so that others could not copy my video and stick them on other sites…

      MySpace seems to have changed their tactic and now when the video ends, all one has to do is copy the embed code and paste it…

      Can you please show me what characters to remove so that my videos are still protected…?

      Respectfully,

      Mark P.

      P.S. I uploaded the video using the MySpace format (not YouTube).
