| ## Page Summary |
| - |
| YouTube players can be embedded using either an <iframe> tag or the IFrame Player API, with a minimum size requirement of 200px by 200px. |
| |
| |
| - |
| The <iframe> tag method uses a src URL format of https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID, allowing for parameters to be appended for customization. |
|
|
|
|
| - |
| The IFrame Player API method involves loading the API code asynchronously and using YT.Player to create the player, with options specified in the playerVars property. |
|
|
|
|
| - |
| Content selection in embeds can be for a specific video, playlist, or a user's uploads, configured using the list and listType parameters in the URL. |
|
|
|
|
| - |
| Many parameters are available to control the player, like autoplay, controls, loop and cc_load_policy, but some, like modestbranding, showinfo, autohide and theme, have been deprecated and are no longer functional. |

| ## Overview |
| This document explains how to embed a YouTube player in your application and also defines the parameters that are available in the YouTube embedded player. |
| By appending parameters to the IFrame URL, you can customize the playback experience in your application. For example, you can automatically play videos using the [autoplay](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#autoplay) parameter or cause a video to play repeatedly using the [loop](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#loop) parameter. You can also use the [enablejsapi](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#enablejsapi) parameter to enable the player to be controlled via the [IFrame Player API](https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference). |
| |
| ``` |
| [autoplay](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#autoplay) |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| [loop](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#loop) |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| [enablejsapi](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#enablejsapi) |
| ``` |
| |
| This page currently defines all parameters supported in any YouTube embedded player. Each parameter definition identifies the players that support the corresponding parameter. |
| Note: Embedded players must have a viewport that is at least 200px by 200px. If the player displays controls, it must be large enough to fully display the controls without shrinking the viewport below the minimum size. We recommend 16:9 players be at least 480 pixels wide and 270 pixels tall. |
| |
| ## Embed a YouTube player |
| You can use any of the following methods to embed a YouTube player in your application and specify player parameters. Note that the instructions below demonstrate how to embed a player that loads a single video. The following section explains how to configure your player to load a playlist or a user's uploaded videos. |
| |
| ### Embed a player using an <iframe> tag |
| ``` |
| <iframe> |
| ``` |
| |
| Define an <iframe> tag in your application in which the src URL specifies the content that the player will load as well as any other player parameters you want to set. The <iframe> tag's height and width parameters specify the dimensions of the player. |
| |
| ``` |
| <iframe> |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| src |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| <iframe> |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| height |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| width |
| ``` |
| |
| If you create the <iframe> element yourself (rather than using the IFrame Player API to create it), you can append player parameters directly to the end of the URL. The URL has the following format: |
| |
| ``` |
| <iframe> |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID |
| ``` |
| |
| The <iframe> tag below would load a 640x360px player that would play the YouTube video M7lc1UVf-VE. Since the URL sets the autoplay parameter to 1, the video would play automatically once the player has loaded. |
| |
| ``` |
| <iframe> |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| M7lc1UVf-VE |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| autoplay |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| 1 |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| <iframe id="ytplayer" type="text/html" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/M7lc1UVf-VE?autoplay=1&origin=http://example.com" frameborder="0"></iframe> |
| ``` |
| |
| ### Embed a player using the IFrame Player API |
| Follow the [IFrame Player API instructions](https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference#Loading_a_Video_Player) to insert a video player in your web page or application after the Player API's JavaScript code has loaded. The second parameter in the constructor for the video player is an object that specifies player options. Within that object, the playerVars property identifies player parameters. |
| |
| ``` |
| playerVars |
| ``` |
| |
| The HTML and JavaScript code below shows a simple example that inserts a YouTube player into the page element that has an id value of ytplayer. The onYouTubePlayerAPIReady() function specified here is called automatically when the IFrame Player API code has loaded. This code does not define any player parameters and also does not define other event handlers. |
| |
| ``` |
| id |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| ytplayer |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| onYouTubePlayerAPIReady() |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| <div id="ytplayer"></div> <script> // Load the IFrame Player API code asynchronously. var tag = document.createElement('script'); tag.src = "https://www.youtube.com/player_api"; var firstScriptTag = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; firstScriptTag.parentNode.insertBefore(tag, firstScriptTag); // Replace the 'ytplayer' element with an <iframe> and // YouTube player after the API code downloads. var player; function onYouTubePlayerAPIReady() { player = new YT.Player('ytplayer', { height: '360', width: '640', videoId: 'M7lc1UVf-VE' }); } </script> |
| ``` |
| |
| You can configure your embedded player to load a video, a playlist, or a user's uploaded videos. |
| The following list explains these options: |
| - |
| Loading a video |
| For an IFrame embed, the YouTube video ID for the video that you want to load is specified in the IFrame's src URL. |
| https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID |
| |
| If you are using the YouTube Data API (v3), you can programmatically construct these URLs by retrieving video IDs from [search results](https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/search#resource), [playlist item resources](https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/playlistItems#resource), [video resources](https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos#resource), or other resources. After obtaining a video ID, replace the VIDEO_ID text in the URLs above with that value to create the player URL. |
| |
| - |
| Loading a play[list](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#list) |
| Set the [listType](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#listType) player parameter to playlist. In addition, set the list player parameter to the YouTube playlist ID that you want to load. |
| https://www.youtube.com/embed?listType=playlist&list=PLAYLIST_ID |
| Note that you need to prepend the playlist ID with the letters PL as shown in the following example: |
| https://www.youtube.com/embed?listType=playlist&list=PLC77007E23FF423C6 |
| If you are using the YouTube Data API (v3), you can programmatically construct these URLs by retrieving playlist IDs from [search results](https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/search#resource), [channel resources](https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/channels#contentDetails.relatedPlaylists), or [activity resources](https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/activities#resource). After obtaining a playlist ID, replace the PLAYLIST_ID text in the URL above with that value. |
| |
| - |
| Loading a user's uploaded videos |
| Set the [[list](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#list)Type](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#listType) player parameter to user_uploads. In addition, set the list player parameter to the YouTube username whose uploaded videos you want to load. |
| https://www.youtube.com/embed?listType=user_uploads&list=USERNAME |
| |
| Loading a video |
| For an IFrame embed, the YouTube video ID for the video that you want to load is specified in the IFrame's src URL. |
| |
| ``` |
| src |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID |
| ``` |
| |
| If you are using the YouTube Data API (v3), you can programmatically construct these URLs by retrieving video IDs from [search results](https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/search#resource), [playlist item resources](https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/playlistItems#resource), [video resources](https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos#resource), or other resources. After obtaining a video ID, replace the VIDEO_ID text in the URLs above with that value to create the player URL. |
|
|
| ``` |
| VIDEO_ID |
| ``` |
|
|
| Loading a playlist |
| Set the [[list](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#list)Type](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#listType) player parameter to playlist. In addition, set the list player parameter to the YouTube playlist ID that you want to load. |
| |
| ``` |
| [listType](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#listType) |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| playlist |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| [list](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#list) |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| https://www.youtube.com/embed?listType=playlist&list=PLAYLIST_ID |
| ``` |
| |
| Note that you need to prepend the playlist ID with the letters PL as shown in the following example: |
| |
| ``` |
| PL |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| https://www.youtube.com/embed?listType=playlist&list=PLC77007E23FF423C6 |
| ``` |
| |
| If you are using the YouTube Data API (v3), you can programmatically construct these URLs by retrieving playlist IDs from [search results](https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/search#resource), [channel resources](https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/channels#contentDetails.relatedPlaylists), or [activity resources](https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/activities#resource). After obtaining a playlist ID, replace the PLAYLIST_ID text in the URL above with that value. |
| |
| ``` |
| PLAYLIST_ID |
| ``` |
| |
| Loading a user's uploaded videos |
| |
| ## Select content to play |
| Set the [[list](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#list)Type](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#listType) player parameter to user_uploads. In addition, set the list player parameter to the YouTube username whose uploaded videos you want to load. |
| |
| ``` |
| [listType](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#listType) |
| ``` |

| ### August 15, 2023 |
| Note: This is a deprecation announcement for the modestbranding parameter. |
| |
| ``` |
| modestbranding |
| ``` |
| |
| The [modestbranding](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#modestbranding) parameter is deprecated and will have no effect. To align with YouTube's branding requirements, the player now determines the appropriate branding treatment based on a combination of factors, including player size, other API parameters (e.g. controls), and additional signals. |
| |
| ``` |
| [modestbranding](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#modestbranding) |

| controls |
| ``` |
| |
| ### April 27, 2021 |
| The [playsinline](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#playsinline) parameter definition has been updated slightly to explain that the parameter pertains to both mobile browsers on iOS and iOS WebViews. |
| |
| ``` |
| [playsinline](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#playsinline) |
| ``` |
| |
| ### October 15, 2020 |
| The [autoplay](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#autoplay) parameter definition has been updated to explain that if you enable Autoplay, playback will occur without any user interaction with the player; playback data collection and sharing will therefore occur upon page load. |
| |
| ``` |
| [autoplay](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#autoplay) |
| ``` |
| |
| ### October 13, 2020 |
| Note: This is a deprecation announcement for the embedded player functionality that lets you configure the player to load search results. This announcement affects the player's [list](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#list) and [listType](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#listType) parameters. |
| |
| ``` |
| [list](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#list) |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| [listType](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#listType) |
| ``` |
| |
| This change will become effective on or after 15 November 2020. After that time, setting the listType parameter value to search will generate a 4xx response code, such as 404 (Not Found) or 410 (Gone). |
| |
| ``` |
| listType |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| search |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| 4xx |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| 404 |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| Not Found |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| 410 |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| Gone |
| ``` |
| |
| As an alternative, you can use the YouTube Data API's [search.list](https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/search/list) method to retrieve search results and then load selected videos in the player. |
| |
| ``` |
| [search.list](https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/search/list) |
| ``` |
| |
| In addition to the change described above, the showinfo parameter, which was [deprecated](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#release_notes_08_23_2018) in 2018, has been removed from this document. |
| |
| ``` |
| showinfo |
| ``` |
| |
| ### August 23, 2018 |
| Note: This is a deprecation announcement for the showinfo parameter. In addition, the behavior for the rel parameter is changing. Titles, channel information, and related videos are an important part of YouTube's core user experience, and these changes help to make the YouTube viewing experience consistent across different platforms. |
| |
| ``` |
| showinfo |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| rel |
| ``` |
| |
| - The behavior for the rel parameter is changing on or after September 25, 2018. The effect of the change is that you will not be able to disable related videos. However, you will have the option of specifying that the related videos shown in the player should be from the same channel as the video that was just played. |
| To be more specific: |
| |
| Prior to the change, if the parameter's value is set to 0, then the player does not show related videos. |
| After the change, if the rel parameter is set to 0, the player will show related videos that are from the same channel as the video that was just played. |
| |
| |
| - Prior to the change, if the parameter's value is set to 0, then the player does not show related videos. |
| - After the change, if the rel parameter is set to 0, the player will show related videos that are from the same channel as the video that was just played. |
| - The showinfo parameter, which indicates whether the player should display information like the video title and uploader before the video starts playing, is also being deprecated. Following the change, the channel avatar and video title will always display before playback begins, when playback is paused, and when playback ends. The avatar being displayed is new behavior that will be consistent across all embedded players. |
| |
| ``` |
| rel |
| ``` |
| |
| - Prior to the change, if the parameter's value is set to 0, then the player does not show related videos. |
| - After the change, if the rel parameter is set to 0, the player will show related videos that are from the same channel as the video that was just played. |
| |
| ``` |
| 0 |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| rel |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| 0 |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| showinfo |
| ``` |
| |
| These changes will become effective on or after September 25, 2018. After that time, the showinfo parameter will be ignored. The behavior following the changes is consistent with the current default behavior for embedded players with the exception of the channel avatar changes mentioned above. |
| |
| ``` |
| showinfo |
| ``` |
| |
| ### August 16, 2018 |
| The [cc_lang_pref](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#cc_lang_pref) parameter can be used to specify the default language that the player will use to display captions. This parameter can be used in conjunction with the [cc_load_policy](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#cc_load_policy) parameter to automatically show captions in the specified language during playback. |
| |
| ``` |
| [cc_lang_pref](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#cc_lang_pref) |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| [cc_load_policy](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#cc_load_policy) |
| ``` |
| |
| ### September 15, 2017 |
| The [controls](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#controls) parameter's definition has been updated to remove references to the deprecated Flash (AS3) player. The value 2 has been deprecated as it was originally designed to provide a performance improvement for embeds that loaded a Flash player. |
| |
| ``` |
| [controls](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#controls) |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| 2 |
| ``` |
| |
| ### June 12, 2017 |
| The new [widget_referrer](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#widget_referrer) parameter helps to enable more accurate YouTube Analytics reporting when the YouTube player is embedded in a widget, and that widget is then embedded in a web page or application. |
| |
| ``` |
| [widget_referrer](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#widget_referrer) |
| ``` |
| |
| ### November 1, 2016 |
| This document has been updated to remove references to the deprecated Flash (AS3) player as well as to parameters only supported by that player. The YouTube Flash player was deprecated in January 2015. |
| |
| ### October 20, 2016 |
| This update contains the following changes: |
| - |
| The [disablekb](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#disablekb) parameter definition has been corrected to note that the default value is 0, which means that keyboard controls are enabled. A value of 1 indicates that keyboard controls should be disabled. |
| The list of keyboard controls that the player supports has also been updated to include the following: |
| |
| [f]: Toggle full-screen display |
| [j]: Jump back 10 seconds in the current video |
| [k]: Play / Pause |
| [l]: Jump ahead 10 seconds in the current video |
| [m]: Mute or unmute the video |
| [0-9]: Jump to a point in the video. 0 jumps to the beginning of the video, 1 jumps to the time 10% into the video, 2 jumps to the point 20% into the video, and so forth. |
| |
| In addition, the effect of pressing the [arrow left] or [arrow right] keys has changed. These keys now jump 5 seconds back (arrow left) or ahead (arrow right) in the current video. |
| |
| - [f]: Toggle full-screen display |
| - [j]: Jump back 10 seconds in the current video |
| - [k]: Play / Pause |
| - [l]: Jump ahead 10 seconds in the current video |

| European Union (EU) laws require that certain disclosures must be given to and consents obtained from end users in the EU. Therefore, for end users in the European Union, you must comply with the [EU User Consent Policy](https://www.google.com/about/company/user-consent-policy.html). We have added a notice of this requirement in our [YouTube API Terms of Service](https://developers.google.com/youtube/terms#notices-to-users). |

| The [autohide](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#autohide) parameter has been deprecated for the HTML5 player. In HTML5 players, the video progress bar and player controls display or hide automatically. That behavior corresponds to an autohide setting of 1. |
| |
| - |
| The theme parameter has been deprecated for the HTML5 player. HTML5 players now always use the dark theme. |

| The document has been updated to reflect the fact that YouTube <object> embeds, the YouTube Flash Player API and the YouTube JavaScript Player API have all been [deprecated](http://youtube-eng.blogspot.com/2015/01/youtube-now-defaults-to-html5_27.html) as of January 27, 2015. A deprecation warning appears in several sections of this document to help point readers to the [IFrame Player API](https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference) as an alternative. |
| |
| - |
| The definition of the [autohide](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#autohide) parameter has been updated to clarify the meaning of the parameter's values. The default behavior (autohide=2) is that if the player has a 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio, the player's video progress bar and player controls display or hide automatically. Otherwise, those controls are visible throughout the video. |
| |
| - |
| The definition of the [hl](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#hl) parameter has been updated to note that the parameter value could be an ISO 639-1 two-letter language code or a fully specified locale. For example, fr and fr-ca are both valid parameter values. |
| |
| - |
| The definition of the [enablejsapi](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#enablejsapi) parameter has been reworded to clarify that the parameter enables a player to be controlled via API calls. The API could be either the [IFrame Player API](https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference) or the [JavaScript Player API](https://developers.google.com/youtube/js_api_reference). |

| The new [hl](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#hl) parameter can be used to set the player's interface language. The interface language is used for tooltips in the player and also affects the default caption track. The selected caption track may also depend on the availability of caption tracks and user's individual language preferences. |
| The parameter's value is an [ISO 639-1 two-letter language code](http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php), though other language input codes, such as IETF language tags (BCP 47) may also be handled properly. |
| |
| - |
| The definition of the [playsinline](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#playsinline) parameter, which only affects HTML5 players on iOS, has been modified slightly. The definition now notes that setting the parameter value to 1 causes inline playback only for UIWebViews created with the allowsInlineMediaPlayback property set to TRUE. |

| The [controls](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#controls) parameter's definition has been updated to reflect the fact that the parameter value only affects the time that the Flash player actually loads in IFrame embeds. In addition, for IFrame embeds, the parameter value also determines when the controls display in the player. If you set the parameter's value to 2, then the controls display and the Flash player loads after the user initiates the video playback. |

| |
| - |
| The definition of the [showinfo](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#showinfo) parameter has been updated to explain how that if the player is loading a playlist, and you explicitly set the parameter value to 1, then, upon loading, the player will also display thumbnail images for the videos in the playlist. Note that this functionality is only supported for the AS3 player since that is the only player that can load a playlist. |

| |
| This update contains the following changes: |
| - |
| The documentation has been updated to identify parameters supported in the HTML5 ([IFrame](https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference)) embedded player. |
| |
| - |
| The document now displays all of the parameters supported in any of YouTube's embedded players (HTML5, AS3, AS2). |
| |
| - |
| The following parameters are supported in the AS2 player but have been deprecated for the newer AS3 and HTML5 players: [border](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#border), [color1](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#color), [color2](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#color), [egm](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#egm), [hd](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#hd), and [showsearch](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#showsearch). |
| In addition, the [[[loop](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#loop)](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#loop)](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#loop) parameter has limited support in the AS3 player and in IFrame embeds, which could load either an AS3 or HTML player. Currently, the loop parameter only works in the AS3 player when used in conjunction with the [[[playlist](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#playlist)](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#playlist)](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#playlist) parameter. To loop a single video, set the loop parameter to 1 and set the playlist parameter value to the same video ID already specified in the Player API URL:https://www.youtube.com/v/VIDEO_ID?version=3&loop=1&playlist=VIDEO_ID |
| Similarly, the [controls](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#controls) and playlist parameters are supported in the AS3 and HTML5 players but are not and will not be supported in the AS2 player. |
| As noted above, IFrame embeds can load either an AS3 or HTML5 player. Though some parameters are not supported in both players, an IFrame embed that loads the AS3 player will support all parameters that work with that player and ignore all other parameters. Similarly, an IFrame embed that loads the HTML5 player will support all parameters that work with that player while ignoring all other parameters. |
| |
| - |
| The parameter list has been updated to include the [autohide](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#autohide) parameter, which indicates whether the player's video controls will automatically hide after a video begins playing. |
| |
| - |
| The parameter list has been updated to include the [controls](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#controls) parameter, which indicates whether the player's video controls will display at all. (Player controls do display by default.) |
| |
| - |
| The parameter list has been updated to include the [playlist](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#playlist) parameter, which specifies a comma-separated list of video IDs to play. |
| |
| - |
| The definition of the [fs](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#fs) has been updated to note that the fullscreen option will not work if you load the YouTube player into another SWF. |
| |
| - |
| The [example](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#AS3_Object_Embeds) at the end of the document has been updated to use the embedded AS3 player instead of the embedded AS2 player. The parameters used in the example have also been updated to only include parameters that the AS3 player supports. |
| In addition, the instructions for constructing the URLs that contain player parameters have been updated to reflect the URL formats used by the AS3 and AS2 embedded and chromeless players as well as by the HTML5 player. |
| |
| The documentation has been updated to identify parameters supported in the HTML5 ([IFrame](https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference)) embedded player. |
| The document now displays all of the parameters supported in any of YouTube's embedded players (HTML5, AS3, AS2). |
| |
| The following parameters are supported in the AS2 player but have been deprecated for the newer AS3 and HTML5 players: [border](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#border), [color1](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#color), [color2](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#color), [egm](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#egm), [hd](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#hd), and [showsearch](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#showsearch). |

| ``` |
| |
| Similarly, the [controls](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#controls) and [playlist](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#playlist) parameters are supported in the AS3 and HTML5 players but are not and will not be supported in the AS2 player. |
| |
| ``` |
| [controls](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#controls) |
| ``` |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| [playlist](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#playlist) |
| ``` |
| |
| As noted above, IFrame embeds can load either an AS3 or HTML5 player. Though some parameters are not supported in both players, an IFrame embed that loads the AS3 player will support all parameters that work with that player and ignore all other parameters. Similarly, an IFrame embed that loads the HTML5 player will support all parameters that work with that player while ignoring all other parameters. |
| The parameter list has been updated to include the [autohide](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#autohide) parameter, which indicates whether the player's video controls will automatically hide after a video begins playing. |
| |
| ``` |
| [autohide](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#autohide) |
| ``` |
| |
| The parameter list has been updated to include the [controls](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#controls) parameter, which indicates whether the player's video controls will display at all. (Player controls do display by default.) |
| |
| ``` |
| [controls](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#controls) |
| ``` |
| |
| The parameter list has been updated to include the [playlist](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#playlist) parameter, which specifies a comma-separated list of video IDs to play. |
| |
| ``` |
| [playlist](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#playlist) |
| ``` |
| |
| The definition of the [fs](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#fs) has been updated to note that the fullscreen option will not work if you load the YouTube player into another SWF. |
| |
| ``` |
| [fs](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#fs) |
| ``` |
| |
| The [example](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters?hl=en#AS3_Object_Embeds) at the end of the document has been updated to use the embedded AS3 player instead of the embedded AS2 player. The parameters used in the example have also been updated to only include parameters that the AS3 player supports. |
| In addition, the instructions for constructing the URLs that contain player parameters have been updated to reflect the URL formats used by the AS3 and AS2 embedded and chromeless players as well as by the HTML5 player. |
