Updated May 2026
<iframe width="100%" height="400" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ?mute=1" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>Live preview
Browsers block autoplay on videos with sound — that’s why "autoplay’ only works when "muted" is on. Use the modern privacy-friendly youtube-nocookie.com URL by replacing youtube.com with youtube-nocookie.com manually after copy if you need GDPR-light embedding.
