VIDEO IN HTML

[gatg]

I want to put a youtube video on my website that will autoplay as a background

Might want to add:
Having videos automatically played from either Chrome or possibly other browsers too in latest update will need to have you mute the source. Either that or you need the user to interact with the website to then be allowed playing any kind of video with volume.

The mute rule is applied to source inside a <video>, having this (example) will make it playable in background

<video autoplay muted>
  <source src="video.webm" type="video/webm" />
  <source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
</video>

More information about such can be found here:

EDIT: Fixed first paragraph with grammar.

The muting of video's is also explained in the video, bit of a useless comment, but alright.

Yeah I didn't watch the video before posting my comment, my fault, sorry for that.
