Hi,
can we get an auto-play option for YT videos with cover image. 

Feature block with video and cover image has no auto play option. So, people need to click the image for the video to appear, then click again to play.

I tried embedding myself and editing the code, but there is no option for to add a cover photo for embeds... so not I have to add a plugin to create YT cover images to make the page load faster. 

Thanks!

  Hi Joshua,

  I'm sorry but YouTube does allow the autoplay only for background, for videos added in the Video element isn't possible to set the autoplay option. It is a YouTube policy.

  Best regards,

  Sandra
