How to play/start youtube video after clicking on an image?
Have a look at:
the code will be something like this:
function onPlayerReady(event) { $('img').click(function() { ytPlayer.playVideo(); });}
Another approach - switch iframe SRC (URL) with "?autoplay=1" version.
<a href="#" id="clickMe">PLAY</a><iframe id="iframe" width="1280" height="720" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/F0naUkyEkmM" data-autoplay-src="//www.youtube.com/embed/F0naUkyEkmM?autoplay=1"></iframe>jQuery:
jQuery("#clickMe").on('click',function(){ var vi = jQuery("#iframe"); vi.attr("src", vi.data("autoplay-src") );});
