I'm trying to embed a video with the sound muted but I can not figure out how it make it work.

Currently I'm using this but doesn't work:

<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uNRGWVJ10gQ?rel=0&amp;autoplay=1" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Any of you knows how can I make this work ?

Add &mute=1 to the end of your url.

Your new code would be:

<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uNRGWVJ10gQ?rel=0&amp;autoplay=1&mute=1" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

For me works using &autoplay=1&mute=1

The accepted answer was not working for me, I followed this tutorial instead with success.

Basically:

<div id="muteYouTubeVideoPlayer"></div>
<script async src="https://www.youtube.com/iframe_api"></script>
<script>
 function onYouTubeIframeAPIReady() {
  var player;
  player = new YT.Player('muteYouTubeVideoPlayer', {
    videoId: 'YOUR_VIDEO_ID', // YouTube Video ID
    width: 560,               // Player width (in px)
    height: 316,              // Player height (in px)
    playerVars: {
      autoplay: 1,        // Auto-play the video on load
      controls: 1,        // Show pause/play buttons in player
      showinfo: 0,        // Hide the video title
      modestbranding: 1,  // Hide the Youtube Logo
      loop: 1,            // Run the video in a loop
      fs: 0,              // Hide the full screen button
      cc_load_policy: 0, // Hide closed captions
      iv_load_policy: 3,  // Hide the Video Annotations
      autohide: 0         // Hide video controls when playing
    },
    events: {
      onReady: function(e) {
        e.target.mute();
      }
    }
  });
 }

This is easy. Just add mute=1 to the src parameter of iframe.

Example:

<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uNRGWVJ10gQ?controls=0&mute=1&showinfo=0&rel=0&autoplay=1&loop=1&playlist=uNRGWVJ10gQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I would like to thank the friend who posted the codes below in this area. I finally solved a problem that I had to deal with all day long.

<div id="muteYouTubeVideoPlayer"></div>
                            <script async src="https://www.youtube.com/iframe_api"></script>
                            <script>
                                function onYouTubeIframeAPIReady() {
                                    var player;
                                    player = new YT.Player('muteYouTubeVideoPlayer', {
                                        videoId: 'xCIBR8kpM6Q', // YouTube Video ID
                                        width: 1350, // Player width (in px)
                                        height: 500, // Player height (in px)
                                        playerVars: {
                                            autoplay: 1, // Auto-play the video on load
                                            controls: 0, // Show pause/play buttons in player
                                            showinfo: 0, // Hide the video title
                                            modestbranding: 0, // Hide the Youtube Logo
                                            loop: 1, // Run the video in a loop
                                            fs: 0, // Hide the full screen button
                                            cc_load_policy: 0, // Hide closed captions
                                            iv_load_policy: 3, // Hide the Video Annotations
                                            autohide: 0, // Hide video controls when playing
                                            rel: 0 
                                        },
                                        events: {
                                            onReady: function(e) {
                                                e.target.setVolume(5);
                                            }
                                        }
                                    });
                                }

Just pass mute=1.

For example:

<iframe id="myVideo" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/k0DN-BZrM4o?rel=0&amp;autoplay=1;mute=1" width="100%" height="600" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

was also looking for a solution to this but I wasn't including via iframe, mine was linked to images/video.mp4 - found this https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_video_muted.asp - and I simply added < video controls muted > (CSS/HTML 5 solution), but no JS required for me...

Try this

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/
HeQ39bLsoTI?autoplay=1&cc_load_policy=1" volume="0" frameborder="0"
allowfullscreen></iframe>

don't forget to write volume="0"
