Lightbox Ultimate – How to Launch or popup a YouTube video automatically

[kzahner]

I have Lightbox Ultimate and want my YouTube video to launch automatically when my home page loads. The only shortcodes I see require that the user launch it from an image or text. Is there any way to make the video appear on page load of home page?

Hi, we don’t have that option just yet but we are working on it.

Hi, now we have a new shortcode to play YouTube video. You can also automatically launch a video after the page loads. Please take a look at the documentation here:

I am trying to get this same feature to work with a YouTube video on page load. I have added the (auto_popup=”1″) code to the shortcode but it does not auto popup when the page loads. The website address is [http://www.crossfit714.com] and the image anchor with the shortcode is at the bottom right on the Home Page.

@jmairs, currently it only works with our advanced YouTube shortcode (please see the link above). Use the advanced YouTube shortcode and you should be good.
