Your Resource For Embed?Codes for?YouTube Videos Into Your Blog

There are always ways to manipulate your videos if you have a service like YouTube or you have your own server (which most don’t). ?So, this blog post is for people who want to control how their videos look on YouTube. ?I’ll show you through the steps to customizing your YouTube videos using YouTube embed codes that only YouTube supports. ?Do things that are upright and above-board so that you will be backed by YouTube if anything happens to your account.

That being said, here are some great ways to change the look of your YouTube videos.

First, we are going to start with the video that I’m placing on this blog post as?the base or example video. ?To insert a video on your blog or anywhere a web page is accepting embeds is to copy the embed code on YouTube, then paste it on the page you wish to share the video on.

Title Bar removal

This will remove the title from the top of the video. ?Go ahead and play the video and then watch at the top and you’ll see that the title is gone. ?The command that you need to put in the embed code will be at the end of the SRC portion of the code and INSIDE of the quotes

HIDE RELATED VIDEOS DISPLAY AT END OF VIDEOS

I found that adding this to my code when embedding is a good thing to do.
YouTube already gives people a plethora of?videos to watch when on their website.
However, adding this specific YouTube embed code will keep people focused on
your stuff that you provide on Yoursite.com.

Sure, there are those that will click the YouTube logo and then watch from
YouTube.com.? However, those are pretty negotiable.

MODEST BRANDING

Modest branding is YouTube’s way of saying, we will give you less “YouTube”
branding.? So all you will see is the YouTube logo?on the bottom right of the video
.? This is the option to use when using?YouTube embed codes on your blog.

START AT SPECIFIC TIME IN VIDEO

?Added Feature URL:?https://youtu.be/fcBftezTuDU?start=x(x=seconds from the beginning)

This option is for inserting a video and having the video start at a
specific time in the video. Most commonly used when pointing
out something?in a video.

HIDE CONTROLS

?Added Feature URL:?https://youtu.be/fcBftezTuDU&controls=0

This is used when you do not want the viewer to have control
over the video. A classroom setting is a common place to see this,
or even in a video sales letter (capture page). youtube embed codes
are going to be your friend when you learn which option does what.

Example of All Commands into One URL

Here’s the way to get all the branding (YouTube) off of your video.
This is not a 100% solution. However, it does remove about 95% of the
YouTube branding. ?If you’re looking for a solution that will allow
you to brand your videos to you and not YouTube, then you should
check out the video solution that I have started using. ?Get more info on it here?(affiliate link)

Those are some of the little tweaks you can use to change how your videos
look on your blog or wherever you choose to embed your videos.
This last version is going to be a “locked down” version.? I say that because
you’ll essentially have a play button and that’s it.? If you’d like to have more
control of who you want to view your video, take a look at the
video hosting company I’ve been using.? There are more options such as
color branding and an?opt-in page before you can watch the video.

Final Thoughts On Using YouTube Embed Codes

Why go to all the trouble of making these videos look like they are NOT on YouTube? ?The quick and short answer is to have your audience’s attention. ?It’s a statistical fact that people watch up to 4 hours of YouTube video per day. ?Think about this for a moment. ?This has literally replaced what Television was 20 years ago.

#YouTube now has embed codes pre-staged for you, but there are still codes you need to be aware of for customizing #Videos Click To Tweet

So, if you want the attention of a potential customer you’re going to have to make it slightly harder for them to browse to other videos on YouTube or any other social media video hosting site.
