Here are some more URL tricks you can use in Youtube
Autoplay a Video :
If you want your embedded video to start playing automatically, once again you can do so by simply modifying the url. In this case you need to append the string “&autoplay=1” to the url and remove everything before and after the embed tag.
Loop a Video :
If you wish to loop a video add the string “ &loop=1” to the end of the url.
Disable related videos in YouTube’s embedded Player :
Many webmasters may want to disable related videos in YouTube’s embedded player since it encourages the reader to navigate away from the current website. Once again the solution is as simple as appending the string “rel=0” to the video URL.
Instead of manually modifying the embed code you can let a new service called VTubeTools do it. VTubeTools.com allows you to customize your YouTube player with a few clicks. You can resize the player, autostart the video, loop the video and enable high quality version. It also allows you to set custom background (you can just change the colours or even use your own background picture).
Embed a Part of a YouTube Video :
Youtube supports a parameter called “start” that allows start playing an embedded video after a specified number of seconds.
For example if the interesting part of the video begins only after 20 seconds you need to use the code &start=20. Example
Code:
<object width=”425″ height=”344″><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/abcdefghijk&hl=en&fs=1&start=20“></param><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”></param><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/abcdefghijk...tart=20” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”425″ height=”344″></embed></object>
Alternatively you can use the service Splicd to extract only a certain portion of a Youtube video.
