Automatically start YouTube videos
Since YouTube became so popular, I've started to see more and more videos on different websites. The only probelm was some you had to click on play to see teh video. I thought to myself that the guys who developed YouTube shoudl have thought a comment for this feature. Then I was surfing aorund on their website and found this small query string. I was wondering if there was a feature to start playing the videos which you place on your MySpace profile or your blog or your website. I found this small code you add and the magic happens.
Just add &autoplay=1 to the end of the movie link. just like the Bacardi Mojito commercial video below.
