How can i make youtube videos auto play? without taking members to youtube when they click on the video, when i add a youtube link on my newsfeed it loads and all, but it's not playing directly from there when they start the video, it opens a new windows and plays the video on Youtube.

Posting a link will always do that. You must post the embed code. Using the Video option.

Donamix,

1. This is not our demo.

2. When you paste a link into newsfeed, the link will redirect to the youtube ( second video from screen shot)
When you paste embed code using "Attach Video" button, video will play within your site ( first video from screen shot).
