SL 360: Auto-starting embedded youtube videos

Jan 22, 2020

Hi,

I'm using the Insert Video - embedded youtube function, to display youtube videos in-line, within the course.

This course has to meet accessibility requirements - so I need the youtube videos to auto-start (no click required). 

Is there a way to accomplish this? I've tried triggers and 'autostart=1' in the embed code - no luck.

Hey Marty, I'm having the same issue and in other threads support/specialists from Articulate have indicated Autostart doesn't work in Storyline - even though it's mentioned in the documentation - go figure... :(
