when embedding a normal YouTube video everything works fine. when i try to embed the sky news live stream the stream does not start, it just sits at the start screen waiting for you to press play.

I know that this is a you tube error and not a xibo error but if anyone can correct my embedded code so that it auto plays that would be appreciated.

tried the following

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<iframe width="1920" height="1080" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9Auq9mYxFEE?autoplay=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

</body>
</html>

and 


<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<iframe width="1900" height="1060" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9Auq9mYxFEE?autoplay=1&vq=large">
</iframe>

</body>
</html>

Since April 2018, Google made some changes to the Autoplay Policy. You not only need to add the autoplay=1 as a query param, but also add allow=‘autoplay’ as an iframe’s attribute

So while embed youtube video, you will have to do something like this:

<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID?autoplay=1" allow='autoplay'></iframe>
