[YouTube-API] Re: Iframe videos acting strange when being viewed on iphone

Hello,

Something similar happens on Android phones without Flash (such as
when using the Chrome browser).

I'm fairly sure this has to do with the clickthroughs on the controls
not being properly propagated to the actual HTML5 <video> element. and
real playback never gets triggered. I believe others have raised
similar issues previously, and I'll follow up with the engineering
team early next week to see what the status of the issue is.

Cheers,
