add autoplay to youtube iframe on button click jquery not working

I am using custom buttons to keep my design consistent. I have added a button which is layered on top of the iframe using the z-index property in CSS. Onclick the iframe reacts but does not begin to play. I have used this code on other websites and it worked fine.

iframe

z-index

iframe

This code works in Safari but not in Chrome. I am not sure if maybe I should try re-installing Chrome.

I have also added 1 other lines which I have tried (commented out). Can anyone suggest why this is not working on chrome?

$('#playLucid').click(function()
$('#playLucid').css('display', 'none');
//$("#expose").attr('src','https://www.youtube.com/embed/7bU-x8pJbig?autoplay=1');
$("#expose")[0].src += "?autoplay=1";
);


#expose

This May Work:

<iframe type="text/html"
src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/..?autoplay=1" frameborder="0"
allow="autoplay">
</iframe>


If it doesn't work, try adding mute=1 or muted=1:

mute=1

muted=1

src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/..?autoplay=1&mute=1
