In the module description it says videos "will automatically play the first time they're clicked on".

We've noticed on browsers that block autoplay (e.g.chrome, safari) that it takes 2 clicks to get videos playing. Is there any way around this?

If initial sound is not important, a workaround would be to use
mute=1 (Custom YouTube parameters)
parameter. Works in Chrome but without sound.

I think it'd be a good idea to add mute, would you or anyone else like to provide a patch?

We don't need patch to add mute option, you can add it using settings. Go to /admin/config/content/mytube, enter mute=1 in (Custom YouTube parameters) setting. Save form & clear cache.

Oh, thanks for the suggestion, Ash2303!

I'll run this by our stakeholders. It's too bad there's no way to have our privacy and have 1-click play.

What I was suggesting was making the default parameters autoplay=1&mute=1

In actual none of the options should be applied by default and allow user to add whatever they want. I think autoplay=1 is applied by default to overcome the extra button click that module is masking over embeds.

Realized we need to use the new allow attribute to allow autoplay on embeds.

Fix logic - we want to add the allow attribute regardless of the custom size setting.

We only need to figure out the default width and height once.
