    I recommend not having a video auto-play (it can annoy visitors). If you must, at least have the volume set to off and give your visitors the choice.

    What kind of video: Quicktime, flv or something else? If it's a YouTube clip, just copy and paste the 'embed' code provided.

    Hello,
    In order to have a video play when the site loads you need to embed the video into the html, but first you have to figure out what type of video you are going to be uploading, I would make sure to not make the video to large so that the load time for the site is not to long.

    I have posted a link that you should find helpful for embedding a video into the html.
