Hey, everyone. I'm just curious. May I ask if there is a code to make a youtube video automatically play once someone enters your profile? If there is, that would be great. Thanks.
Unfortunately this won't ever be implemented. Feel free to check out this topic for more info!

We've actually done a lot of work to try and make this impossible. The link Sanne posted has some explanation as to why, although it's a bit out of date now, so I'll just summarize the current reasons:
I see how music can create a more immersive experience, which could appeal when you as a creator are trying to set up a site that gives an accurate flavor of a beloved character.
When building a site, though, it's not only about the character the site is about; it's equally about the people who come to learn about that character. I feel it's a matter of web-etiquette, and that there's a sort of social contract not to overstep the boundaries of what people have asked for. Usually when you are browsing the web, what you expect from a browser is pictures and text -- you do not think you are inviting sound intrusions by visiting a web site, so if it is forced on me I consider the site rude and get off it as fast as possible. It's the digital equivalent of personal space -- I might like hugs, and hugs are usually very friendly, but if I'm just walking around and I'm not expecting to get one, a sudden tackle hug out of nowhere is going to alarm and upset me!
So, in summary...
For these reasons, and others, auto-play is disabled on the RPR and will never be added back in. Sorry!

So, in summary...
- Most people don't expect their browser to be a jukebox, and are startled and jarred unpleasantly when unexpected sound comes flying at them.
- Lots of people use their computers as a multimedia station, and are already listening to music. Playing more music they didn't ask for is just going to produce auditory chaos and result in a swift click of the back button to make it stop.
- These days, a large portion of our userbase browse the site on mobile at least some of the time, and would not appreciate having their bandwidth automatically sucked up by a video that they didn't ask to see starting to play.
For these reasons, and others, auto-play is disabled on the RPR and will never be added back in. Sorry!
So i CANT just go tackle hugging people around town!? Lol im kidding. That was something i was wondering about too. The auto play i mean.
