Features

 

This add-on block enables you to embed YouTube Video on your web pages and provides some advanced configuration options to control the features of the embedded player. The add-on accepts YouTube video URLs in one of these common formats

  • http://www.youtube.com/v/VIDEO_ID
  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID
  • http://youtu.be/VIDEO_ID

You can control the layout of the embedded video by specifying the width and aspect ratio of the player. Options include:

  • Automatically play the video when your page loads
  • Automatically hide player controls
  • Enable/disable the fullscreen button
  • Hide the controls alltogether (chromeless player)
  • Show or hide the video title and uploader information
  • Choose if you want related videos displayed when your video has finished
  • Specify the version of the embedded player (AS2 or AS3)

Other configuration options enable you to specify the window mode so that your video player doesn't overlay drop-down menus.

Please note that this add-on uses the old embed code to embed the YouTube video on your web page. This old embed code embeds the video using a Flash player and may not be compatible with iOS devices like iPhone & iPad. I am working on an update to make the YouTube Plus add-on compatible with all iOS devices. Please get in touch if you have any questions about compatiblity issues.
