Initially when I started using youtube on my computer youtube would autoplay the video on load. But now every time I have to manually do it. I am using Internet Explorer version 8. What should I do to enable autoplay on youtube?

The autoplay feature of youtube permits your featured video to start after complete loading of your channel page. The youtube video for autoloop and autoplay has varied opinions. It is useful for webmasters/bloggers who requires a choice to become certain that their readers observe their sample videos on blogs.

How autoplay works on You-Tube:

Whenever you take your mouse pointer on a video URL on any YouTube Page (channel page, search page or home page) and click on it, the resultant video page comes in front of you and the video starts playing automatically. The motive for this is the URL (with a code) entrenched in the link.

In order to enable autoplay characteristics for viewing purpose only:

you should add &autoplay=1 at the finishing line of the URL to ensure that the video begins playing automatically. Now if you are already on youtube and are pointing your mouse to click on a video link to watch it, then you do not require any process, since they had already tweaked it to begin playing automatically. But in case if you are trying to copy it from any different website then the url must be verified. If the url has /watch?v= attribute already attached then no tweaks are required. But if it continues to have the format of /v/video-id then simply append &autoplay=1 at the last and utilize the URL to watch it.
