On mobile devices (Tested on Chrome on an Android) it takes 2 clicks to play the video. 1st click on the play button loads the youtube iframe, 2nd click on the play button loads the video. Anyone else having the same issue?

The Plugin creates the YouTube iframe after the user has clicked the placeholder. Since Android and iOS disabled autoplay the user has to click again to make the actual video play.
