title: How can I trigger a YouTube video to play in browser on iOS by clicking on a play button instead of the embed?
body: <p>On my site, I want to have users watch an embedded YouTube video without leaving the page, but I don't want to have the not so stylistic YouTube embed visible prior to clicking.</p>
  
  <p>This is entirely doable on desktop, as you can use the YouTube JavaScript API to trigger the embed to play, but on iOS, programmatic triggering of the player to play is blocked. So how can I do this on iOS?</p>
