ios 10 youtube iframe not playing

I'm using the following iframe in my HTML code:

        <iframe src="<iframeurl>">?autoplay=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

On iPhone with iOS10 this doesn't autoplay. I'm getting the red play button and stuff. On windows chrome and others all works fine autoplay starts correctly. But not with the iphone.

Is there anything I could do in javascript or by manipulating the URL to make this autoplay? I'm aware that Apple used to disallow autoplay before iOS10 so maybe I'm doing something wrong here..

Solution

  • Just add the play trigger to onClick and then execute call the click event from an AJAX response.

    Should do the trick ;)
