How to Automatically Start YouTube Videos on MySpace

Video Transcript

"Hi my name is Erica Goms I'm here in Salt Lake City, Utah. We are talking about MySpace on the Internet and I'm going to show you how to automatically start YouTube videos on your MySpace profile. The difference is is that you can add YouTube videos to your MySpace profile but you have to click play and I'm just going to show you how to have them automatically start when someone views your page. I already have pulled up a YouTube video that I'm going to use to show you how to add a YouTube video to your MySpace page. So I already picked one but over on the right it says "embed". So, what you're going to do is you're going to right click and scroll down to copy then embed code then you're going to minimize the YouTube. Then, you're going to maximize your MySpace page and we're already logged into there. You're going to go up to edit profile, click on that. Now, you're going to scroll down to whatever category you're want to put it in. We'll put it in General and we're going to paste it. What you're going to do after you paste it is you're going to delete all the scripting this right before this little cursor and the word "embed". So, go ahead and click in between the two and just delete everything that is in front of that. We're just deleting that right now. Next, you're going to go down to the word object and you're going to delete the back cursor, the word object, the slash, and the next cursor. After you do that you're going to delete these little letters right here because after the equal sign right here is the end of the URL that actually takes you to the YouTube video. So, go ahead and click right there before the last equal sign and erase those letters. Now, you're going to type in the and sign and then type in auto play. What you're going to do now is you're going to scroll up and save the changes. It says your profile is now updated and so go over to view my profile. Click on that. As you can see the video is loading and it should start playing in just a second. Here it is playing right here."
