Youtube Api PlayVideo Method Doesn't Work On Some Mobile Devices

I am trying to create a website for mobile where after clicking on an image a youtube video to play. I have tested on several Android mobile phones/versions and on some doesn't beh

Solution 1:

Looks like some functions you are using (player.playVideo()) are disabled in Mobile devices. In my case after using player.playVideo() in some Android devices, the video isn´t played even after tapping the player

Autoplay and Scripted Playback

The HTML5 element, in certain mobile browsers (such as Chrome and Safari), only allows playback to take place if it's initiated by a user interaction (such as tapping on the player).

Due to this restriction, functions and parameters such as autoplay, playVideo(), loadVideoById() won't work in all mobile environments**
