Spotify Play Button - autoplay?

Question

I am trying to integrate Spotify Play Button into ThingLink Spotify tag so that when the iframe loads, it starts playing automatically. Is there a way to do that with some parameter?

The functionality would be similar to Soundcloud & Vimeo players here: http://www.thinglink.com/scene/251225958915244034

Without the autoplay, user would have to click on Play twice, which wouldn't be that good of UX.

Thanks!

There is no autoplay functionality at present.

Autoplay isn't really what the Play Button is about — it's designed so people can listen to music if they want to. We don't really want to interrupt whatever the user is listening to already (be it something in Spotify, something else, or silence) without express permission to do so first.
