I’m adding a video to a campaign site, and would like the video to start playing as soon as the page loads. Is this possible?

Yes, you can do this with a youtube video. I imagine there is a similar method for Vimeo and Facebook as well.

With a youtube video, you can add the parameter `?autoplay=1` to your youtube link that you insert into a campaign site section. It’s worth noting this is a feature of the youtube player and not a feature of Funraise.

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](http://net-informations.com/q/mis/youtube.html), you will have to do something like this:

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