HTML YouTube Videos


The simplest method to show videos on a website using HTML is by embedding YouTube videos.


Struggling with Video Formats?

Changing the format of videos can be hard and takes a lot of time.

A simpler option is to allow YouTube to show the videos on your website.


YouTube Video Id

When you save or play a video on YouTube, it will show an identifier (such as tgbNymZ7vqY).

You may utilize this identification (id) to reference your video within the HTML code.


Playing a YouTube Video in HTML

To showcase your video on a webpage, follow these steps:

  • Upload the video to YouTube
  • Remember the video ID.
  • Create an <iframe> element on your webpage.
  • Set the src attribute to the web address of the video.
  • Employ the width and height attributes to define the size of the player.
  • Include additional details in the web address (refer to the information below).

YouTube Autoplay + Mute

You can make your video play automatically when someone opens the page by including autoplay=1 in the YouTube URL. Yet, starting a video automatically can be bothersome for your website visitors!

Insert mute=1 right after autoplay=1 to make your video begin playing on its own, but with the sound turned off.


YouTube Playlist

A comma separated list of videos to play (in addition to the original URL).


YouTube Loop

Include loop=1 to make your video play repeatedly without stopping.

Setting 0 (default): The video plays just once.

Value 1: The video will repeat continuously.


YouTube Controls

Add controls=0 to not display controls in the video player.

Value 0: Player controls does not display.

Value 1 (default): Player controls display.
