I am trying to automatically start a youtube video when it loads and when it finishes I want it to alert that it's done.
This is my HTML/JS
<div id="player"></div>
<script src="http://www.youtube.com/player_api"></script>
<script>
// create youtube player
var player;
function onYouTubePlayerAPIReady() {
player = new YT.Player('player', {
height: '390',
width: '640',
videoId: '0Bmhjf0rKe8',
events: {
'onReady': onPlayerReady,
'onStateChange': onPlayerStateChange
}
});
}
// autoplay video
function onPlayerReady(event) {
event.target.playVideo();
}
// when video ends
function onPlayerStateChange(event) {
if(event.data === 0) {
alert('done');
}
}
</script>
The part that alerts when the video is done is working but the auto-player doesn't. I HAVE TRIED TO PUT THE ?AUTOPLAY=1
TAG AFTER THE VIDEO URL BUT THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO WORK EITHER!
I have seen all the variations to this question and tried all the anwsers but none of them work.
Does anyone have any idea on what I should try next?
Thanks to cat my problem is solved!
All I had to do is go to chrome://flags/#autoplay-policy
and select "No user gesture is required" in the dropdown menu under the "Autoplay policy" and then relaunch chrome.
