There are times when you don’t want related videos playing in a YouTube video embed. I know, because a few minutes ago I had that very need!
It’s actually quite simple to embed a YouTube video by way of their on-site forms these days – and they’re bound to change the options by the time I post this how to article. The good news is: if you’re having problems trying to get your YouTube video to embed without displaying any related links, please leave a comment below and I’ll be sure to respond with updated directions (and update this description, too).
Don’t worry – if you’ve already embedded the video, you can very easily turn off the related videos from showing up. This might be important if you only want a page’s visitor to see that single video. Take a look at the HTML code you copied from YouTube originally.
So, in essence, you’ll want the end of the video to look like this screen shot – giving the viewer no other option other than to replay without seeing related videos (from you or any other YouTube viewers):
You’ll see a couple of “youtube” URLs in there – the links which tell the web page which video needs to be played. To the end of these URLs, we need to add a simple parameter:
&rel=0
So, for example, if you see a URL like this:
http://www.youtube.com/v/X1Wn-iKadvE?version=3&hl=en_US
And turn it into this:
http://www.youtube.com/v/X1Wn-iKadvE?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0
This way, when someone goes to view the video, no related videos will show up. You can see a living example of this code in action on our current business services site. You could also click on the YouTube links above to see the differences between viewing a video with or without the related video option.
Good luck with your embedding. If you have any questions about YouTube, don’t hesitate to ask!
