High performance, native-styled YouTube Embed

I gave it a shot here and, welp, same issue. But, I just realized…I think autoplay would defeat the purpose of this script, i.e., it’s designed to not load the YouTube API until it’s been clicked.

That is, it is “fast” by delaying the YouTube API from launching until click. Thus, the autoplay: 1 argument won’t be run until after a click, at which point it’s already sent the play command. :frowning:

Hi!

I got it to work but for some reason the thumbnail doesn’t load on desktop. but it does on mobile??

I just wanted to thank you @TG2 from the bottom of my heart. The way you explained everything so clearly and added supportive images along really helped me (still a WB noobie) out a lot. I really appreciate the solution.

PS! When I was following your guide along I wanted to test the player first with the video you had used - safe to say when I first reloaded my site to check if it worked, and it worked, I instantly pressed play and… you know the rest :rofl:
