How to Autoplay on YouTube With Tags
Autoplay is a URL parameter passed to the YouTube domain that tells the web browser to automatically start playing the video. You add this URL parameter to the link in your YouTube HTML code. You can add this code using a regular text editor such as Notepad, or you can use a third party application to add the parameter.
