Muted AutoPlay YouTube Video Playlist

[Kimberly Coleman]

Does anyone know of a good plugin that automatically plays a muted YouTube playlist when a visitor comes to a page.
(Do you Ginger Coolidge/ @gscoolidge ?)

I thought that I had it solved but I can only do a muted autoplay for an individual video (not a playlist). In case anyone needs to do that, below is the code:

1. Place this code in header.php (Just substitute your desired height, width and video id):
<script>
// 2. This code loads the IFrame Player API code asynchronously.
var tag = document.createElement('script');

tag.src = "https://www.youtube.com/iframe_api";
var firstScriptTag = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
firstScriptTag.parentNode.insertBefore(tag, firstScriptTag);

// 3. This function creates an <iframe> (and YouTube player)
// after the API code downloads.
var player;
function onYouTubeIframeAPIReady() {
player = new YT.Player('player', {
height: '195',
width: '260',
videoId: '5sh3WENk7l8',
events: {
'onReady': onPlayerReady,
'onStateChange': onPlayerStateChange
}
});
}

// 4. The API will call this function when the video player is ready.
function onPlayerReady(event) {
event.target.setVolume(0);
event.target.playVideo();
}

// 5. The API calls this function when the player's state changes.
// The function indicates that when playing a video (state=1),
// the player should play for six seconds and then stop.
var done = false;
function onPlayerStateChange(event) {
if (event.data == YT.PlayerState.PLAYING && !done) {
// setTimeout(stopVideo, 6000);
done = true;
}
event.target.setVolume(0);
}
</script>

2. Place the following code where you want the video to play (i.e. in a sidebar text widget):
<div id="player"></div>

Take care,
Kimberly
