  If you do not see that option here http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/ you can hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up a WordPress.ORG install. Read the comparison here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  I’m fairly certain the WordPress video player doesn’t have an autoplay feature. I do not see instructions here http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/ and I assume you read what I posted above carefully.

  Hi,
  I find an answer on youtube (from 03/2013), however since youtube are often changing their rules, I want make sure that the command line is supported by youtube and working.
  I had some difficulties in activating this code so, I am looking in here for other people experience.

  Hello again,
  I categorically refuse to follow or ever return again to any blog where I experience with autoplay music or autoplay videos. I click out immediately because consider that approach of removing the visitor’s right to choose to be an appalling act of either ignorance or arrogance and I have no tolerance for either. Moreover, you will find that my position on autoplay music and videos is not unique at all.

  Hi
  The clip I want auto play in a lop is an introduction clip I want run on my homepage web site, expecting people not to stay long with but to move to the other pages in the web site.
  However, I want the clip to run (this is 21sec clip) until when the visitor read the home page content and select (or not) to move to the other pages
  This is not for annoying visitors as the clip hold only some 1/5 of the web page space
  Thank you in any case
