I have numerous youtube video clips, and I was wondering if it is possible to embed them on the site as youtube playlist, so that the next video starts playing automatically once the clip finishes. Is there such functionality either with YouTube API or without. If not possible, what would be the best approach. Thanks in advance.

Each YouTube video has four generated images. They are predictably formatted as follows:
https://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/0.jpg
https://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/1.jpg
https://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/2.jpg
https://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/3.jpg
The first one in the list is a full size image and others are thumbnail images. The default thumbnail image (i.e., one of 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg) is:
https://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/default.jpg
For the high quality version of the thumbnail use a URL similar to this:
https://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/hqdefault.jpg
There is also a medium quality version of the thumbnail, using a URL similar to the HQ:
https://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/mqdefault.jpg
For the standard definition version of the thumbnail, use a URL similar to this:
https://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/sddefault.jpg
For the maximum resolution version of the thumbnail use a URL similar to this:
https://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/maxresdefault.jpg
All of the above URLs are available over HTTP too. Additionally, the slightly shorter hostname i3.ytimg.com works in place of img.youtube.com in the example URLs above.
Alternatively, you can use the YouTube Data API (v3) to get thumbnail images.
You can use the flash version of the youtube embed player to achieve that look. However the tray is now positioned to the left side.

Actually there are two ways to embed playlists from youtube. In the first method you can directly specify all the videos that you want to play in the embed player.
Each video ID must be separated by using comma.
Secondly, you can embed a playlist that is already present in youtube using the playlist ID
