To my problem, I have one link . I want to play the video by clicking the link in a fancybox overlay window. This is not a problem. The problem is the parameters, for example "autoplay" or "autohide".
The following link doesn't work:
The Overlay-Window opened, but the video is not playing automatically.
EDIT: I want to use the HTML5 Player on mobile devices. On a desktop-browser it works with the parameters, but not on mobile devices.
As it turns out, autoplay cannot be done on iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch) and Android.
See https://stackoverflow.com/a/8142187/2054512 and https://stackoverflow.com/a/3056220/2054512
Have a look on code below.
Tested and found working on Mobile and Tablet devices.

The code below was tested on iPhone, iPad (iOS13), Safari (Catalina). It was able to autoplay the YouTube video on all devices. Make sure the video is muted and the playsinline parameter is on. Those are the magic parameters that make it work.

The official statement "Due to this restriction, functions and parameters such as autoplay, playVideo(), loadVideoById() won't work in all mobile environments.
Reference: https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference
There is a way to make youtube autoplay, and complete playlists play through. Get Adblock browser for Android, and then go to the youtube website, and and configure it for the desktop version of the page, close Adblock browser out, and then reopen, and you will have the desktop version, where autoplay will work.
Using the desktop version will also mean that AdBlock will work. The mobile version invokes the standalone YouTube player, which is why you want the desktop version of the page, so that autoplay will work, and so ad blocking will work.
How to use a Youtube channel live url to embed and autoplay. Instead of Video ID that has to be constantly updated for live stream changes.
I mixed two sets of code and came up with a working auto play Youtube video embed from a channel live stream.
My thanks to both of the other contributors for their help. Hopefully this helps someone else some time.

I'm having trouble with adding autoplay to the video I want to put on my HTML site. Adding ?autoplay=1 or &autoplay=1 didn't work. -- same with the loop
<div class="videoContainer">
<iframe class="videoContainer__video" width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HWl8XAOQnTg?rel=0&controls=0&showinfo=0" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen> </iframe>

Hello my friend you can find the correct steps to embed a youtube video correctly;
On a computer, go to the YouTube video that you want to embed.
Under the video, click Share .
Click Embed.
From the box that appears, copy the HTML code.
Paste the code into your blog or website HTML.
To allow your video to auto play use this src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HWl8XAOQnTg?rel=0&controls=0&showinfo=0;autoplay=1&mute=1" as well as having allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" in your code. Use the steps above to embed your video through youtube first and then add the autoplay=1 to your video url.
I know you have said you have tried to add autoplay=1 already but it may help you to retry following my steps. Let me know how you get on.
Not relying on parameters that don't seem to work for me – working workaround for September 2018 (bonus: set width and height by CSS for #yt-wrap instead of hard-coding it in JS):

tag.src = "https://www.youtube.com/player_api";
var firstScriptTag = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
firstScriptTag.parentNode.insertBefore(tag, firstScriptTag);
// 3. This function creates an <iframe> (and YouTube player)
// after the API code downloads.
var player;
function onYouTubePlayerAPIReady() {

videoId: 'VIDEO_ID',
events: {
'onReady': onPlayerReady,
'onStateChange': onPlayerStateChange
}
});
}
// 4. The API will call this function when the video player is ready.
function onPlayerReady(event) {
event.target.playVideo();
player.mute(); // comment out if you don't want the auto played video muted
}
// 5. The API calls this function when the player's state changes.
// The function indicates that when playing a video (state=1),
// the player should play for six seconds and then stop.
function onPlayerStateChange(event) {
if (event.data == YT.PlayerState.ENDED) {
player.seekTo(0);
player.playVideo();
}
}
function stopVideo() {
player.stopVideo();
}
</script>
Here use this:
OPEN THE BELOW CODE PEN LINK
It will loop your video too : (Runs the cached version of video, look upon #Turnip Comment)
;&autoplay=1;&loop=1;&playlist=HWl8XAOQnTg

I want to display youtube videos in iphone cordova app,
I tried iframe but it is not displaying some times.
So trying object tag
my code is
<div style="width: 100%; padding: 0" id="getWidth">
<object width="100%" height="auto">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{{youtubeId}}">
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/{{youtubeId}}" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%;" height="auto">
</object>
</div>
here getWidth is taking full screen but video is not showing in full width as shown in the following image
Note: left side safari inspector and right side iphone simulator
Image is taken while trying to set width dynamically but in both cases result is same
Refer to the Youtube Player API for how to embed it in your application. Iframe is by far the best way to go.
Here is a sample html from the API

I'm trying to embed a video from YouTube. When I preview the page, I will get a black screen with the words "This video contains content from UMG. Playback restricted on certain sites. Watch on YouTube(link)." The video did have copy written material, but has been removed and the video was uploaded again to YouTube. I still get the same error. Someone else has been able to upload the video on a live site. I'm not running a testing server-not sure if this is part of the problem?
<'iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3uIkI49uk8I?rel=0"
frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The example code below has a video that explains how to remove the copyright restriction
when I put in your youtube it came up with the UMG so try the steps in the video and the code snippet should work too.

I tried to use the YouTube player demo to generate the code necessary for my video to autoplay and loop itself.
But only the autoplay works, it doesn't loop, and the demo-video doesn't work either. Here is the code I've used.
<iframe class="embed-responsive-item" id="ytplayer" type="text/html" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/M7lc1UVf-VE?&autoplay=1&loop=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&color=white&iv_load_policy=3" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>
</iframe>
Try adding the playlist parameter along with the loop. For playlist, set it's value as the current video id.
<iframe class="embed-responsive-item"id="ytplayer" type="text/html" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/M7lc1UVf-VE?&autoplay=1&loop=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&color=white&iv_load_policy=3&playlist=M7lc1UVf-VE"
frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Currently, the loop parameter only works in the AS3 player when used in conjunction with the playlist parameter. To loop a single video, set the loop parameter value to 1 and set the playlist parameter value to the same video ID already specified in the Player API URL:
http://www.youtube.com/v/VIDEO_ID?version=3&loop=1&playlist=VIDEO_ID
Reference:https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters#loop
I just figured out you need to have playlist="" to use loop.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/peSfCy7HFrM?playlist=peSfCy7HFrM&loop=1;rel=0&autoplay=1&controls=0&showinfo=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>
Using in react native like this, make sure to use same video ID value for playlist as well.
for e.g if video id is SpongeBOB
then url will be like this :
https://www.youtube.com/embed/SpongeBOB?playlist=SpongeBOB&loop=1
below is implementation in react native webview
<WebView
javaScriptEnabled={true}
domStorageEnabled={true}
mediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction={true}
style={{ height:180, width:300,alignSelf:"center",alignContent:"center"}}
source={{uri: 'https://www.youtube.com/embed/qD101Xlc5uw?playlist=qD101Xlc5uw&loop=1' }}
/>
'playlist': '<?php echo $youtube_video ?>'
inside playerVars.
For example a full code:
<script>
// 2. This code loads the IFrame Player API code asynchronously.
var tag = document.createElement('script');
tag.src = "https://www.youtube.com/iframe_api";
var firstScriptTag = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
firstScriptTag.parentNode.insertBefore(tag, firstScriptTag);
// 3. This function creates an <iframe> (and YouTube player)
// after the API code downloads.
var player;
function onYouTubeIframeAPIReady() {
player = new YT.Player('player', {
height:'100%',
width: '100%',
fitToBackground: true,
videoId: '<?php echo $youtube_video ?>',
playerVars: {
'autoplay': 1,
'controls': 0,
'autohide':1,
'enablejsapi':1,
'loop':1,
'disablekb':1,
'fs': 0,
'modestbranding': 0,
'showinfo': 0,
'color': 'white',
'theme': 'light',
'rel':0 ,
'playlist': '<?php echo $youtube_video ?>'
},
events: {
'onReady': onPlayerReady
}
});
}
// 4. The API will call this function when the video player is ready.
function onPlayerReady(event) {
event.target.playVideo();
player.mute();
player.setVolume(0);
//player.setSize(1920, 1080);
player.setLoop(true);
player.setPlaybackQuality('hd1080');
}
Your Html code:
<div id="player"></div>
If you want to keep video in a variable use this:
<?php $youtube_video='C0DPdy98e4c';?>
Accepted answer didn't work for me either. Working workaround for September 2018 (bonus: set width and height by CSS for #yt-wrap instead of hard-coding it in JS):
<div id="yt-wrap">
<!-- 1. The <iframe> (and video player) will replace this <div> tag. -->
<div id="ytplayer"></div>
</div>
<script>
// 2. This code loads the IFrame Player API code asynchronously.
var tag = document.createElement('script');
tag.src = "https://www.youtube.com/player_api";
var firstScriptTag = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
firstScriptTag.parentNode.insertBefore(tag, firstScriptTag);
// 3. This function creates an <iframe> (and YouTube player)
// after the API code downloads.
var player;
function onYouTubePlayerAPIReady() {
player = new YT.Player('ytplayer', {
width: '100%',
height: '100%',
videoId: 'VIDEO_ID',
events: {
'onReady': onPlayerReady,
'onStateChange': onPlayerStateChange
}
});
}
// 4. The API will call this function when the video player is ready.
function onPlayerReady(event) {
event.target.playVideo();
player.mute(); // comment out if you don't want the auto played video muted
}
// 5. The API calls this function when the player's state changes.
// The function indicates that when playing a video (state=1),
// the player should play for six seconds and then stop.
function onPlayerStateChange(event) {
if (event.data == YT.PlayerState.ENDED) {
player.seekTo(0);
player.playVideo();
}
}
function stopVideo() {
player.stopVideo();
}
</script>
You need to add
https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID?playlist=VIDEO_ID&loop=1
note the playlist = VIDEO_ID is mandatory and is set to the video id for a single video
so in my case the url was
https://www.youtube.com/embed/C5tG7pztlb0?playlist=C5tG7pztlb0&loop=1&autoplay=1&controls=1&showinfo=0&mute=1
mute is on
show info is off
show controls is off
autoplay is on
loop is on
Here's another working example of an embedded and looping playlist:
<iframe width="1019" height="573" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PLDz-3V1_TIyhVYiJeGdqc9bjpAf9L9Zfq&loop=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay " ;"="" =""="" encrypted-media;="" gyroscope;="" picture-in-picture"="" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>
