Frequently Asked Questions
What YouTube URLs does this tool support?
The tool supports all standard YouTube URL formats including youtube.com/watch?v=, youtu.be/, youtube.com/embed/, and YouTube Shorts URLs. Just paste any YouTube video URL and it will work.
What is the difference between responsive and fixed size embeds?
Responsive embeds automatically adjust to fit the container width while maintaining aspect ratio, making them perfect for mobile-friendly websites. Fixed size embeds use specific pixel dimensions.
How do I make a video autoplay when the page loads?
Enable the "Autoplay" option in the settings. Note that most browsers require videos to be muted for autoplay to work due to user experience policies.
Can I set a specific start and end time for the video?
Yes, use the "Start Time" and "End Time" fields to specify times in seconds. The video will begin playing at the start time and stop at the end time if specified.
What does the "Loop" option do?
When Loop is enabled, the video will automatically restart from the beginning when it reaches the end, creating a continuous playback loop.
How do I hide the YouTube player controls?
Uncheck the "Show Controls" option to hide the play/pause button, progress bar, and volume controls. Users can still control playback by clicking on the video.
What is "Modest Branding" and should I use it?
Modest Branding reduces the visibility of YouTube branding in the player, showing a smaller YouTube logo. This is useful for a cleaner, more professional appearance on your website.
Can I prevent YouTube from showing related videos?
Enable the "Hide Related Videos" option to minimize related video suggestions. Note that YouTube may still show some related content from the same channel.
Is the generated embed code safe to use on any website?
Yes, the generated embed code uses YouTube's official iframe embed method, which is safe and recommended by YouTube for embedding videos on external websites.
Do I need any special permissions to embed YouTube videos?
You can embed any public YouTube video without special permissions. However, some videos may have embedding disabled by the uploader, and private videos cannot be embedded.
