How does one insert a video in a manner done in websites such as http://www.leadpages.net? where the video plays the moment the site is loaded and auto replays without any play buttons/full screen options/etc. It behaves in a way similar to that of gifs
My site uses wordpress/divi theme
WordPress comes with a cool feature called auto-embed. It can automatically get the embed code for video from video sites like YouTube and many more.
All you need to do is paste the video URL into the post editor. Make sure that the URL is in it’s own line and not clickable (hyperlinked), and that you are using the visual editor :)

I am currently working on a html assignment for a coding class, I'm trying to use Youtube to embed a video on my site, but when I do, the site will not load the page. Checking the dev tools, I find that the page is throwing errors talking about cookies, and that's far beyond my scope of knowledge at the moment.
What can I do to get the video to play?
I have made a windows store app using the Youtube Iframe API. I can handle events and play video fine but there is a major problem as it doesnt support full screen mode (amongst some other minor niggles).
I have been looking in the app store and I see that the majority of youtube player apps do not use the iframe API, they grab the video direct and put it into the standard HTML5 video player.
I have done a lot of searching and the only way I can see people are doing this is by parsing the youtube page to find the video file the Youtube player is going to play and loading this directly into the media player.
I have a few problems with this method.
I am not sure if this is legal as it may break youtubes terms and conditions
If page at youtube changes it can break app.
Neither of these situations are acceptable.
Is there any way to get full screen to work inside app or get a direct video stream legitimately?
Not sure about the copyright and youtube terms stuff but here is how you do it apparently:
Show Youtube video source into HTML5 video tag?
Looks like it's browser specific and youtube generates different html for different browsers.
I would make an ajax request to the youtube url appending html5-true then use jQuery to scrape the source for the video tag, add your attributes and then append to your page.
Now you have the tag that youtube uses so I'm assuming what works on their webpage will work o yours.
Probably violates all terms and conditions...
I'm curious to what the best practice is in regards to embedding youtube videos on a site? Ideally I will want to auto-play a default video with it muted while having other videos available as thumbnails.
Any recommended plugins? Should I use an iframe or an object?
Thank you in advance!
Your question is very broad: it's hard to know how to help you. If you're using WordPress, for instance, you'll have some plugins to help you do this, but otherwise it depends on whether you intend to dynamically generate the videos or manually create a page with the main video and thumbnails chosen by you in advance.
If you intend to program your page, you'll want to use the YouTube Data API (version 3 preferably, which uses JSON to keep payload sizes down).
If you're manually laying the page out, look at the watch page for a YouTube video, and you can get the embed code there. Click 'Share -> Embed' and then you'll see an iframe tag from which you can fiddle with to alter the size parameters to suit your needs.
One thing to note though: if you make a video autoplay on a page, as far as I know you forfeit the opportunity to have the viewcount increase for that video. So if you want to promote one of your own and intend the viewcount to go up each time, you have to allow users to start the video.
I would like to know if there is a way I can put an hyperlink on a video that is from my own website, like Youtube does. The video is in mp4 format and I don't know wether there is a kind of embedded javascript code or something for doing that task. I thank you very much your attention.
I am currently managing my website through wordpress I would like to know if there is a way to do that by this way.
I can't just simply upload the video to Youtube and then embed the video in my website because the videos I am currently administrating are private.
I think you mean you want to play your video directly on your website without having to upload it to a video service like youtube. For this you'd need to use the HTML5 video tag in your template(if you have access to your code). Or I'm guessing wordpress would have plugins for this that would just allow you to upload your video file and it would play it in your template for you.
HTML5 video tag description
I have one video file inmy system I want it to attach it on my html page.I want same thing with youtube videos also.I want that when i open my html form this video appear as like same as pictures are seen at thumnails.means i dont want only links..I tried stackoverflow links but no one is telling from starting .I am telling u frankly i dont know even making a link of my sytem video file in html form,..I can make links for image,files etc but for video si dont know.So plz guide ..
1.HOw to make a simple link of video file which is in my system drive.
2.HOw this video will be displayed like pictures are displayed at thumbnails
3.How to upload youtube videos(not want only link)...
If you have a video file then you need an image to represent your thumbnail. To create a link that will allow someone to download the video is as simple as:
<a href="url of your video file">
<img src="url of the thumbnail image"/>
</a>
Then the user will see the thumbnail image and when they click on it they will get the video. If you wish to embed the video in a player you can select the player of choice such as FlowPlayer or any of a million others.
You question about you-tube I assume you mean to embed you-tube videos on yout site. If that is the case visit the video on you-tube and there is an embed text box on the page with the code that you must copy and paste into your site.
EDIT:
The FlowPlayer that I linked to (not an endorsement) has a page that describes in great detail how to do what you are asking for here. If you follow each step then you will get exactly what you envision.
Another Edit:
To play a particular file format you need to use an appropriate player. I do not know all the players but you want to make sure that the format you use is popular enough so that users do not have to download special plugins just to see your video.
If you visit the DivX website you will find their embeddable player that can play mkv files on your website. They have a Code Generator that produces the code that you will use to embed the player on your site.
As for various options like starting in pause mode etc you will have to read the documentation of the player that you use to see what options they allow.
you an download ny video from youtube and these videos are in .flv format so why u are taking tension.Just use them frequently.And for youtube videos u do not need to use flowplay just add youtube video url and add object that will be given in that page just above the related video..
But me too do not how to allign it on right side or in middle of the page..Can anybody tell..
