Susie, without writing code I don't think this would be possible if you don't ask the viewer to do something (like click). It might be possible for you to use java to redirect the page after the same amount of time that the video takes to play.

Even if you were able to do that, I might ask why you aren't having them click through if they've already taken the time to watch your video. I don't think I'd expect to be taken to another page automatically after viewing a video, so it might not be the best user experience.

You would have to implement custom JavaScript to accomplish this.  You would use YouTube's iframe API, and check for the video's state (not played, playing, finished):

When the player reaches the desired state, you can redirect the page:

Do you have the technical resources to accomplish this?

Late to the party here. I'm with a LaunchPoint partner (Vidyard) that has this funcitonality out of the box available on any YouTube asset that isn't restricted to private.

Susie - happy to hop on a quick setup call if this is still relevant! ianhutch@vidyard.com
