https://github.com/gsu-library/sirenia/issues/116
in this discussion about an error with the YouTube player not being attached to the DOM, the following code is discussed.
// Use the event handler as a reference instead of the player variable. This ensures
// that the player object is loaded before trying to reference it, preventing the 'player is undefined error'
function onPlayerReady(event) {
var ytPlayer = event.target;
ytPlayer.playVideo();
}
You can use this to test it.

this is a simple example of how to autoplay a video on load with the YouTube Ifram API.
This answers one of my first questions about how to play videos through Quest.
