Embedding YouTube Videos into Your Site With Options
Here is how to turn off features in your YouTube Embedded Videos:
How to disable/enable some useful YouTube features:
Example YouTube Embed Code URL: http://www.youtube.com/embed/p4JeYMBpFY0
To “switch” on and off specific features you can add them to the end of the url following an initial “?”:
Disable Related Videos:
ie: http://www.youtube.com/embed/p4JeYMBpFY0?rel=0
This will yield “Related Videos = OFF”
Autoplay Video on Page Load
ie: http://www.youtube.com/embed/p4JeYMBpFY0?rel=0&autoplay=1
This code will eliminate the Related Videos (rel=0) AND (using the “&”) Autoplay (autoplay=1)
Second Example, if you want to ONLY autoplay and NOT eliminate related videos:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=p4JeYMBpFY0%3Fautoplay%3D1
Turn Off the Title Bar:
ie: http://www.youtube.com/embed/p4JeYMBpFY0?rel=0&autoplay=1&showinfo=0
Turn Off the Controls:
ie: http://www.youtube.com/embed/p4JeYMBpFY0?rel=0&autoplay=1&showinfo=0&controls=0
These are the most common features you’re likely to want to adjust, but there are LOTS more. You can check out Google’s developer site for a more exhaustive list:
