Hi. It is possible to embed Youtube videos which autoplay? I'm thinking not as this would probably ruin threads but if there is a way to do so would be grateful if someone could show me how.

Cheers

Think it got disabled a while back, you used to be able to but think lots of people got caught out at work when something started auto playing :lol:

Used to have an auto play thread which was a bit chaotic.

You are correct with the bolded part.

Why would you even want to do that?

Haha. Thanks for the confirmation. Thought it might work well in a certain thread if I put spoiler tags around it so it wouldn't just completely auto play. But anyway it doesn't matter. If I do end up posting it, doing so just as normal video probably won't make any difference.

Yes, it was after you were spamming the forum with autoplay vids, so @elnorte you can thank elvis for not being able to do this. Make sure you really let him know how you feel (hint: "prat" always works).

That would have been such a surprise after this thread announcing it

Haha. Well at least its got a good story behind it. I think Elvis is probably one of those 'the scorpion and the frog' types.

Yes. Almost as much of a surprise if you had been banned from the forum after Vidal joined Bayern Munich.
