Square Wheels Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Recently videos, including YouTube videos, starting autoplaying for some members. Is there a way to stop that? I don't seen a setting for it on embedding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriano Faria Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 If you paste the video URL ( https://youtu.be/yfxDI14WUaQ ), it won't auto start. If you post the embed URL, there's a parameter to auto start, exemple: Quote <iframe width="763" height="429" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yfxDI14WUaQ" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> Not sure if this is the case or how you're posting.

A couple of people said this is happening. Could it be an iPhone thing? I don't have access to one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriano Faria Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Let me test. EDIT: Not auto starting, at least here. Not sure why it would for a few users. Tested on iPhone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Stridgen Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 On asking internally, we are not doing anything specific here relating to the auto play of video. It also seems this is only happening since updating iOS. So unfortunately, it would seem its an iOS issue here, rather than one with the software.

Adriano Faria Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 FWIW, I had no change in this iOS setting from 14.8 to 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
