HTML YouTube Videos


 The easiest way to play videos in HTML, is to use YouTube.


Struggling with Video Formats?

Converting videos to different formats can be difficult and time-consuming.

An easier solution is to let YouTube play the videos in your web page.


YouTube Video Id

YouTube will display an id (like tgbNymZ7vqY), when you save (or play) a video.

You can use this id, and refer to your video in the HTML code.


Playing a YouTube Video in HTML

To play your video on a web page, do the following:

  • Upload the video to YouTube
  • Take a note of the video id
  • Define an <iframe> element in your web page
  • Let the src attribute point to the video URL
  • Use the width and height attributes to specify the dimension of the player
  • Add any other parameters to the URL (see below)

Example

<iframe width="420" height="315"
src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tgbNymZ7vqY"
>

</iframe>

YouTube Autoplay + Mute

You can let your video start playing automatically when a user visits the page, by adding autoplay=1 to the YouTube URL. However, automatically starting a video is annoying for your visitors!

Note: Chromium browsers do not allow autoplay in most cases. However, muted autoplay is always allowed.

Add mute=1 after autoplay=1 to let your video start playing automatically (but muted).
