I can't work out how to autoplay a video using the new embed code style for Youtube. I tried adding &autoplay=1 to the url, which worked with the old style, but it didn't work. For example, http://www.youtube.com/embed/JW5meKfy3fY is the embed link, but http://www.youtube.com/embed/JW5meKfy3fY&autoplay=1 doesn't work. Can anyone tell me how to do it? Thanks
A:
YouTube Help says that &autoplay=1 has to be after the video ID - I assume, immediately after.

@Aton: Thanks for your answer. Still doesn't work though. I've updated the question with links.

A:
I think if you use replace "&" with "?" in the url the video will autoload.
So your url would be: http://www.youtube.com/embed/JW5meKfy3fY?autoplay=1
Seems like Google should have made this available, but I would say using a "?" makes more sense than using the "&".

I hope it's ok to correct grammar, not the answer itself: that's "should have" not "should of", and "sense" not "since".
