Forum:
Alright so I have been messing around with the autoplay feature and I can confidently say that I got it to work....sometimes. I'm gonna leave my solution here and myabe someone smarter than me can pick it up and fix it further.
Situation: The Youtube video embedded on my profile will auto play sometimes, maybe every 1/5-7 page loads.
Original embed code:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xqds0B_meys" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Solution: add the code "?autoplay=1" after the video url in the code
Fixed Code:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xqds0B_meys?autoplay=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>
Conclusion: I feel as though the handshake between spacehey and embeded videos on Youtube is a bit wonky at the moment. Please feel free to add any thoughts on the matter. I will be publishing results in the coming days should I come across anything.
**EDIT** It seems to be working more consistently now. Still lemme know how it goes for you.
