Presenter '13: How to Add YouTube Videos

autohide
(Flash only)

This parameter determines whether the controls hide when the video starts playing or remain visible throughout the video.

• autohide=0 means the controls will always be visible
• autohide=1 means the controls and the progress bar will autohide
• autohide=2 means the controls will always be visible, but the progress bar will shrink (default)

autoplay
(Flash only)

This parameter determines whether the video will automatically start playing or learners must click the video to start playing it.

• autoplay=0 means the video won't autoplay (default)
• autoplay=1 means the video will autoplay

cc_load_policy
(Flash only)

This parameter determines whether or not closed captions will be displayed by default.

• cc_load_policy=1 means closed captions will be displayed by default

Captions will only display if they've been added to the YouTube video. You can add captions to the video through your account at YouTube.com for videos that you own.

If you don't own the video you're embedding, the cc_load_policy parameter will only display captions if the owner has already added them to the video.

color
(Flash only)

This parameter determines the color of the video's progress bar.

• color=red (default)
• color=white (disables the modestbranding parameter)

This parameter determines whether or not the controls will be displayed.

• controls=0 means the controls won't display
• controls=1 means the controls will display (default)

If you choose not to display the controls, you can still play/pause the video by clicking it.

disablekb
(Flash only)

This parameter enables or disables keyboard controls for the video.

• disablekb=0 means keyboard controls are enabled. (default)
• disablekb=1 means keyboard controls are disabled.

Keyboard controls are:

• Spacebar: play/pause
• Arrow Left: Rewind 10%
• Arrow Right: Fast forward 10%
• Arrow Up: Increase the volume
• Arrow Down: Decrease the volume

This parameter determines when the video will stop playing. It's measured in seconds from the beginning of the video.

For example, if you want the video to stop at 2 minutes and 12 seconds, the parameter would be end=132.

hl

This parameter sets the interface language for the YouTube player. The interface language is used for tooltips (when you hover over player features) and closed captions/subtitles.

This parameter accepts two-letter and four-letter language codes. For example, hl=fr and hl=fr-CA are both acceptable.

iv_load_policy
(Flash only)

This parameter determines whether or not annotations will display.

• iv_load_policy=1 means annotations will display (default)
• iv_load_policy=3 means annotations won't display

This parameter determines whether or not the video will automatically replay.

• loop=0 means the video won't loop (default)
• loop=1 means the video will loop

Note: The loop parameter requires that you also use the playlist parameter. Set the playlist parameter equal to your video ID. Here's the URL format for a looping video:

http://www.youtube.com/embed/video_id?loop=1&playlist=video_id

modestbranding
(Flash only)

This parameter lets you remove the YouTube logo/button from the video controls. (A small YouTube link will still display in the upper right corner when the video is paused.)

• modestbranding=1 means the YouTube logo/button won't display

Note: The YouTube logo/button lets learners launch the video in a separate window at the YouTube.com website, which may not be desirable if you want them to be free from distractions.

This parameter lets you specify a comma-separated list of YouTube video IDs, which will play back-to-back in the same video player. Here's the format for the playlist parameter:

http://www.youtube.com/embed/video_id1?playlist=video_id2,video_id3

playsinline
(HTML5 only)

This parameter determines whether YouTube videos play inline or fullscreen on iPhones running iOS 10 and later. See this article for details.

• playsinline=0 means the video will play fullscreen (default)
• playsinline=1 means the video will play inline

This 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)

This parameter determines where the video will start playing on the timeline. It's measured in seconds from the beginning of the video.

For example, if you want the video to start playing at 1 minute and 30 seconds, the parameter would be start=90.

theme
(Flash only)

This parameter determines which color scheme the controls will use.

• theme=dark (default)
• theme=light
