Description of feature/request

Video autoplay when lightbox opens

This feature would be used to

Autoplay videos upon the lightbox appearing. Currently users have to click play. This would eliminate one click.

Hi, autoplay is supported by adding the URI query parameter to the link's URI.

For example, a Vimeo or YouTube link with &autoplay=1 added to the URI's query string will automatically start playing when it is displayed in the lightbox.

Full URI example:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ&autoplay=1

This gives you full control over which videos start playing automatically when loaded in the lightbox.
