You can set it to automatically play a video when a customer visits a page on your site by adding a straightforward parameter to your YouTube URL. This is ideally posted on the product page or the About Us page.


Take watchful thought when opting to auto-play the videos on your site. Depending on the situation, auto-playing a video can annoy your guest, which can end up in losing potential sales. Remember your guests might shop discretely—they might be in a calm bistro, a library, or on meal break at work.
