Readme github.com/cedaro/youtube-embed-parameters ↗

Customize parameters for embedded Youtube players, including oEmbeds.

Contributors: Brady Vercher
Requires: 4.0
Tested up to: 4.1
License: GPL-2.0+

YouTube allows embedded players to be customized by setting parameters in the iframe URL, however, custom parameters are stripped when passed through the oEmbed endpoint, making it difficult to customize the players. YouTube Embed Parameters makes sure custom parameters can be added by filtering the oEmbed HTMl.

Usage

Default parameters can be set on the Settings → Media screen in the admin panel.

It's possible to override the defaults for individual players by adding parameters to the original URL. For example, when inserting a YouTube video URL into the editor, add &rel=0 to the end of the URL to disable related videos for that particular player.
