Click-to-Play Video Feature Developer

Hi, I already have a YouTube video thumbnail with a centered Play button integrated on my Webflow homepage.

I need a Webflow developer / JavaScript to help me make the video appear and play correctly when the button is clicked.

The challenge:

  • The thumbnail and Play button are working and positioned correctly.

  • When the Play button is clicked: The thumbnail and Play button disappear and The video appears in the same 16:9 box

  • The video starts playing automatically

  • Must work on all devices (desktop, tablet, mobile).

Requirements:

  • Strong experience with Webflow, especially Embed elements and custom code

  • Knowledge of YouTube iframe API and JavaScript for autoplay

  • Ability to debug existing Webflow setup and implement a click-to-play solution

Deliverables:

  • Fully working click-to-play YouTube video with autoplay

  • Properly hidden thumbnail and Play button when the video starts
