How to Change the Embed Options

There are a couple of ways to copy the embed code for a YouTube video. The method used here displays the visual options selector.

As you select the Embed options, the embed code changes. With each setting you enable or disable, the code updates to reflect how the video behaves. YouTube allows for other alterations if you want to change the code manually. For example, setting the fs parameter to 0 prevents viewers from making the YouTube video full screen. Adding the start parameter to the code lets you choose at which point in the video to start the stream. If you don’t want to update the code, use this custom video embed generator. Paste the video ID into the box on that page and enable any of the settings to change the embed code. Some of the options let you customize the width and height of the video player, force 1080p resolution, change the progress bar to white instead of red, and make the video play automatically.
