Opening YouTube video with button click in mobile
I've searched so much that my brain is starting to hurt. Basically, I would like for the button on my site to open a YouTube video on mobile. On desktop, it will open up a lightbox and a simple embed that autoplays. I've read that mobile devices won't allow autoplay because it eats up data. If the user is choosing a button ('Watch Now', 'Watch Video', etc.) is that not a choice to use data? Is there really no way to do an .onClick parameter?
Thanks for any help!
