How can I remove the youtube branding completely from embedded video?


I have tried to embed videos without youtube branding because it sends my traffic to youtube. I set modestbranding=1 and showinfo=0 but I still see a youtube branding in bottom of the player when I hover the cursor on player.

When I got this I thought, I can't remove that from embedded video but when I came through a site yesterday, I found that their embedding doesn't have youtube branding. They removed that entirely.

If you want that site link here it is http://vitaminl.tv/video/1072?ref=rcm

Can anyone please help me how can I do that? I know we can remove youtube branding using jwplayer but I like to have my own code and design for my site. Help me to solve this.

PS - I am using wordpress.


Solution

  • UPDATE:
    Since this is quite an old post and i'm getting downvotes on it as the solution doesn't work anymore, the simple answer is (as of early 2017):
    You can NOT completely remove the youtube branding.

    You can play around with setting:
    modestbranding=1 - to remove the youtube logo and
    showinfo=0 to remove the title and uploader info

    Although with modestbranding set to 1 you will still get a small youtube text label.

    Old answer from 2013:

    As you can see they use:

    showinfo=0
    iv_load_policy=3
    modestbranding=1
    nologo=1
    

    The last one seems interesting :)

    iv_load_policy=3 means the use of HTML5 if I'm correct
