To my problem, i have one link <a href="http://www.youtube.com/embed/YT-ID" class="overlay_video"></a>. I want to play the video by clicking the link in a fancybox overlay window. This is not a problem. The problem is the parameters, for example "autoplay" or "autohide".
The following link don't work:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/embed/YT-ID?autoplay=1" class="overlay_video"></a> The Overlay-Window opened, but the video is not playing automatically.
EDIT: I want to use the HTML5 Player on mobile devices. On a desktop-browser it works with the parameters, but not on mobile devices.

To make an embedded video autoplay, add "&autoplay=1" to the video's embed code right after the video ID (the series of letters that follows "embed/"). Embedded videos that are autoplayed don't increment video views.
AutoPlay may not work on YouTube due to corrupt cache/data of the browser or corrupt installation of the YouTube mobile application. Moreover, an outdated browser or misconfiguration of your browser like DRM settings, etc. may also cause the error under discussion.
Most mobile devices, including Apple iPhones, Apple iPads and many Android and Microsoft devices do not support the video autoplay feature so your video will not play automatically if a visitor is on one of these devices.
As it turns out, autoplay cannot be done on iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch) and Android.
