Is there an autoplay setting so when a user clicks on the link, they don’t have to click play in the Lightbox? Thanks! https://wordpress.org/plugins/blueimp-lightbox/ There is no setting, but you can try adding the following jQuery snippet: $('#blueimp-gallery').on('slidecomplete', function (event, index, slide) { var video; if ($(this).data('gallery').index === index) { video = $(slide).find('video').get(0); if (video) { video.play(); } } }); I also wanted the same. Tried adding the code in the template file but not working as yet so please do let me know about it. Thanks. My code snippet above will only work for custom HTML5 videos. For YouTube/Vimeo you can enable the clickToPlay options by editing the Gallery template and adding the following attributes: <div id="blueimp-gallery" class="blueimp-gallery" data-you-tube-click-to-play="false" data-vimeo-click-to-play="false"> ... </div> https://github.com/blueimp/Gallery#youtube-options Hi, Thanks for your reply. Actually I meant the auto play directly rather than the circular play button which comes up first when we select a link. I have already done autoplay for vimeo. Thanks. Hi, The youTubeClickToPlay option removes one less click. After clicking on a link, the lightbox appears with the video screenshot and a circular video button. How can we remove this step? Basically I want to click on my link and the lightbox appears with the video playing automatically. One click > lightbox appears > video plays. Is this possible?
