Is there any way to autoplay a youtube video when you scroll to it on the page? I've tried to google this and it looks like theres some methods for the old youtube embed code. I'm looking for an updated version of this - does anyone know how to automatically play youtube videos when you scroll down a certain amount of pixels on a page?
Thanks for your help
See Question&Answers more detail:os
<iframe id="ytplayer" type="text/html" width="640" height="390"
src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/M7lc1UVf-VE?autoplay=1&origin=http://example.com"
frameborder="0"/>
Use the above to play the video automatically. per your question to play it only when scrolled down, check this thread.
Triggering a video autoplay based on scroll position
Here is the complete code. have tested this on firefox and chrome. You can check the sample working here.

// Load the IFrame Player API code asynchronously.
var tag = document.createElement('script');
tag.src = "https://www.youtube.com/player_api";
var firstScriptTag = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
firstScriptTag.parentNode.insertBefore(tag, firstScriptTag);
// Replace the 'ytplayer' element with an <iframe> and
// YouTube player after the API code downloads.
var player;
function onYouTubePlayerAPIReady() {
player = new YT.Player('ytplayer', {
height: '390',
width: '640',
playerVars : {
autoplay : 0
},
videoId: 'M7lc1UVf-VE'
});
}
$(window).scroll(function() {
$("iframe").each( function() {
if( $(window).scrollTop() > $(this).offset().top - 200 ) {
$(this).css('opacity',1);
player.playVideo();
} else {
$(this).css('opacity',0);
player.stopVideo();
}
});
});
