Im trying to get a youtube video to autoplay in a blog we have. This is the code im putting in and its not autoplaying. Does anyone know what im missing? Thanks!

<div class=“hs-responsive-embed-wrapper hs-responsive-embed” style=“width: 100%; height: auto; position: relative; overflow: hidden; padding: 0; max-width: 1920px; max-height: 1080px; min-width: 256px; margin: 0px auto; display: block;”>
<div class=“hs-responsive-embed-inner-wrapper” style=“position: relative; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; padding-bottom: 56.25%; margin: 0;”><iframe class=“hs-responsive-embed-iframe” style=“position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; border: none;” xml=“lang” src=“//www.youtube.com/embed/uDJgHxEKEow?si=E5HAvXWFimwNiLE2?rel=0&autoplay=1” width=“1920” height=“1080” frameborder=“0” allowfullscreen=“allowfullscreen” data-service=“youtube”></iframe></div>

For Chrome to auto play you need to add &mute=1 to the URL. I think you also need to allow autoplay in the iframe as well

<iframe class="hs-responsive-embed-iframe" style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; border: none;" xml="lang" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/uDJgHxEKEow?si=E5HAvXWFimwNiLE2?&rel=0&autoplay=1&mute=1" autoplay="allow" width="1920" height="1080" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" data-service="youtube"></iframe>

Thanks for the support, @LauraMcE !

I know some browsers limit autoplay, so that may be something to consider while troubleshooting, @EDavis50! :slightly_smiling_face:
