    Hello,

    I have tried other lazy loads there that is not that you have to click twice only unfortunately at Lazy Load by WP Rocket.
    There would have to be a possibility to switch it off.
    Even without Lazy Load the links work with one click.
    Do I Lazy Load Rocket is again two clicks to play.

    Ask for help because Lazy Load Rocket is awesome

    When using the replace youtube video by thumbnail option, the double click is necessary on mobile, because the Youtube API doesn’t allow to autoplay the video after that.

    If you want only one click, I suggest to only use lazyload iframes, and not the replace youtube by thumbnail option.

    Have both activated again If you want to turn it off again.

    Unfortunately here we can’t do anything more. It’s a limitation of Youtube for mobile that doesn’t allow a direct autoplay when using this method.

    Hi, a few of questions about this topic.

    – It is possible two avoid two clicks on desktop?
    – What it is the difference between lazy load for youtube with the thumbnail option and do it by iframe.

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    You should have only one click on desktop, as the auto-play should trigger.

    Replacing the video by the thumbnail prevents any load of Youtube assets until you click on the thumbnail.

    If you use the iframe option, youtube assets will be loaded once the iframe comes into the screen, even if you don’t click the video.

    Thanks for your reply,

    I’m having to do one click to load the YouTube video UI, and another one to play the video.

    – I thought the main goal was to not load the YouTube Iframe at first. So if I use the iframe option, there is a optimization? and if there is, could you exploain/show the what are the size/kind of optimization in each level.

    Thanks again.

    Do you have an example URL with the issue?

    The iframe option is still an optimization, as the iframe is not loaded until it comes into the viewport.

    Thanks for your reply, I just needed to enable the autoplay parameter, to work with just on click. Thank you.
