HOW TO remove YouTube branding from videos embedded on your website

September 20, 2011

Until recently, one of the downsides of embedding YouTube videos on your website was the YouTube logo in the lower right hand corner of the screen >>

There's now a way of removing this by adding a small snippet of code to the existing embed code.

The following instructions assume you already know how to add YouTube embed code to your website.

1	Find the video on YouTube.
2	Click on "Share" just beneath the video player.
3	Then click on "Embed"

4	Scroll down and untick "Show suggested videos when the video finishes". I recommend this to avoid competitors' videos playing when your video has ended.
5	Select your required video size.

6	Grab the resulting embed code.
7	Add &modestbranding=1 immediately after where it shows ?rel=0.
	So, this: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/e8BORfMv5Pc?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
	Would change to: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/e8BORfMv5Pc ?rel=0 &modestbranding=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

If you get stuck please call me for some free of charge help.
