Make an embedded video play automatically

To make an embedded video autoplay, add "&autoplay=1" to the video’s embed code right after the video ID (the series of letters that follows "embed/").

Embedded videos that are autoplayed don't increment video views.

Example:

<iframe width="560" height="315"
src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/D6Ac5JpCHmI?&autoplay=1"frameborder="0" 
allowfullscreen></iframe>
