    Yes but it doesnt count towards stats or you cant make it auto play with the ?autoplay=1 on the end of the url

    Post the entire embed code and I'll show you how to make it work.

    Edit: This is a typical youtube embed code, they leave out the http: after the src=" now for technical reasons. They used to add it but not anymore. So you have to add it manually.

    just add http: in front of the src="

    This is the code youtube gives you, and notice the http: is missing.
    Code:
    <iframe width="640" height="480" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/_2AzjO_eE38" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    So add the http: in front of the src" so the entire code looks like this:
    Code:
    <iframe width="640" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_2AzjO_eE38" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Here is how you do the code with autoplay, you add ?autoplay=1 (with the question mark) after the url like this, remembering to add the http: in front of the src":
    Code:
    <iframe width="640" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_2AzjO_eE38?autoplay=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
