Open and Play a video on Internet using ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink Address:=

[drom]

Hi and Thanks in advance!

I am trying to play a YouTube video on internet (not just open the website, I mean youtube)

If I use:

ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink Address:=ActiveCell.Hyperlinks(1).Address

or

ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink Address:="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCgZ3dMIotY"

I am Opening explorer and I can see the video there but in order to play the video I have to press PLAY


So, I would like, I am trying to open and Play the video directly when pressing a button, when running a macro

This video is a MrExcel Video:

If you have /watch in your link then the video does play automatically. I just tried your code

ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink Address:="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCgZ3dMIotY"

and it works just fine?

Probably but does not in my PC
When I put in my inmediate window:

• ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink Address:="
  " ENTER

Open but does not play

Tested it from another PC and it works fine. Can you please check something for me? Do you have Autoplay turned off?
