Embed youtube videos without adverts and youtube info

check out the available parameters here for inserting YouTube videos via webobject.

Did any of these options work for you? I'm trying to do the same thing. The worst thing is to allow a user to go down the YouTube rabbit hole in the middle of a course!

There's a parameter here for determining whether related videos will come from same channel or elsewhere. But is there an option to specify NOT to show related videos at all?

Aha! Actually, that worked! Adding "?rel=0" actually doesn't allow any of the related videos to show at the end, and in fact just ends with the opening screenshot again. Cool!

So glad that this was able to help you out as well, LaRue :)

Thanks for popping in to share and welcome to E-Learning Heroes!

rel=0 does help yes. I still can't get rid of all mentions of youtube, but uppose that won't be possible :)

Thank you very much for your help

Glad to hear that Stelu, and hopefully they won't click around to other videos! 😉

LaRue, where do you put that into your embed code? I put ?rel=0 at the beginning, and at the end, after the last &. Putting it at the end allows any videos to display, and putting it at the beginning restricts to only videos from the same channel, as expected. How do I use this parameter to stop all related videos from displaying?

It goes at the end only. And if you have other coding there, it goes within the closing quotation mark of the source (src) line.

Like so (the part in BOLD is what is added):

EMBED CODE:

<iframe width="690" height="388"
src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NcB5YupsB0?rel=0"
frameborder="0"
allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen>
</iframe>

And if you want another parameter, like not showing YouTube controls, that src line would look like so:

src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NcB5YupsB0?rel=0&controls=0"

Hope this helps!

No, what I am putting in is in the web object like this: 

http://www.youtube.com/embed/Xxxxxxxxxxx?rel=0&autohide=1&autoplay=1

The article says those autohide & autoplay work only with Flash. Could that be the issue?

Thanks for hanging in there, LaRue. I am using the classic player, publishing to web, format HTML5 with Flash fallback, using IE 10.

Hi Rick!  If your course is being viewed with IE 10, I would expect it to default to the Flash output.  HTML5 is supported for IE 11.

The rel parameter determines which related videos will be suggested at the end of the video.

• rel=0 means related videos will come from the same channel as the source video
• rel=1 means related videos will come from any channel (default)

I don't believe there's a parameter to stop all related videos.

Oops, I meant Win 10 and the browser is Edge.

Hi Rick, 

Windows 10 with Edge is likely showing the HTML5 output first, as that's a supported browser. In that case, it seems that you're not seeing those YouTube parameters work as it's only supported for Flash. 

Let us know if you need anything else! 

Thanks, all. Seems I will have to put up with the situation, but that is ok. It will work.
