Insert embeded YouTube video in Markdown, VS Code

Question

I need to insert autoplaying YouTube video in Markdown, VS Code, how can I do it?

![video](YouTube link)

"Autoplaying" will depend heavily on your intended environment. Are you using VSCode to _edit_ the file, or do you expect your users to run VSCode too? In many environments it will be impossible. But even if you manage to to this, it is _extremely annoying_ and I urge you to reconsider. — Chris, Sep 25 '21 at 14:22

@Suraj Rao I use VSCode to edit the file and use preview in it too. So I just wanna play video in preview screen in VSCode automatically — Денис Попков, Sep 25 '21 at 14:27

Open YouTube video in your browser → Press Share → Embed → Copy iframe and paste it in your markdown document.

Or just copy code the below and replace YOUTUBE_LINK with your link

<center>
 <iframe width="560" 
         height="315" 
         src="YOUTUBE_LINK" 
         title="YouTube video player" 
         frameborder="0" 
         allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" 
         allowfullscreen>
 </iframe>
</center>
