Embedding videos without default YouTube branding and chrome

There are a few different ways to embed YouTube videos without the default Youtube branding on a video. These examples are taken from these articles over at ReelSEO

Example 1:

  • No Title Bar
  • YouTube branding shows in the player, on hover only, after video has started.
  • No related videos at end

Example 2:

  • Title Bar visible
  • YouTube branding shows in the player, on hover only, after video has started.
  • No related videos at end

Example 3:

  • Title Bar visible, with YouTube text in title bar, on hover only, before playing
  • No branding in the player, on hover, after video has started
  • No related videos at end

    Thank God for this article! I’ve been working on my website and I really hate seeing the title bar. I have searched google, I found this post and my problem was solved.

    This was very helpful, thanks so much. I wonder is there a similar method for vimeo?

    Simple and intuitive, thank you!
    but APIs don’t allow total no branding customization.
    if no info bar shown, youtube logo(watermark) is shown… if info bar is shown have a link at the youtube site…
    is it right? bye

  9. I’m using Julbul that completely removes all youtube links (including logo) from embed videos. I’m using this tool with 100% accuracy.

    Method discussed in this post is outdated and doesn’t work any more 🙁

    Thanks @Aloysius.

    I tried JULBUL and I must have to say that this tool is AWESOME. Especially their Wistia/Vimeo player layout for youtube embed videos is the best feature I was looking for.
