5 good tips when embedding YouTube videos on websites

When you go to YouTube to find videos and share them on forums and blogs, users will have to embed YouTube videos on the website. If you apply some of the following simple tips, you can skip the beginning of the clip, delete the relevant links .

1. If you want the video to run from the 25th second when posting your blog, add code & start = 25 (25 is the number of seconds, you can choose any number of seconds) at the end of the URL in the embed code

The original code is as follows:

After adding & start = 25 , the code will become as follows:

When writing a blog, add the command & start = 25 (highlighted in red) in the embed code and the video will only display from 25 seconds.

2. If you don't like YouTube's search box that appears at the end of the clip, people can hide it by adding code & showsearch = 0 at the end of the embedded URL before sharing (similar to part 2).

3. Normally, the video will remain on the blog until the viewer clicks the "Play" button. To automatically clip the content, add & autoplay = 1 to the embedded URL. If you want the clip to automatically run again (replay), add code & loop = 1 .

4. When users post content, YouTube often adds some other videos and sometimes annoys them. Then, just add & rel = 0 to the embedded URL so that the clip becomes "cleaner".

No more search boxes and related videos.

6. There are many ways to download videos from YouTube, but the easiest method is to change the "youtube" text to "kickyoutube" in the link. Users will then visit kickyoutube.com to download videos in the formats listed in the top two rows.
