How to use

Adjust Width and Height, set Start in seconds, then use the Autoplay, Muted, Show controls, and Loop checkboxes. The live preview under the options updates as you change them.
03
Copy the embed code

Common questions
Why does autoplay not work in my YouTube embed?
Browsers block autoplay with sound, so check both Autoplay and Muted together. Chrome, Safari, and Firefox will all start a muted video automatically, and the viewer can unmute manually. Autoplay alone gets silently ignored.
How do I make the generated YouTube embed responsive?
The iframe ships with fixed width and height values. Wrap it in a container with aspect-ratio 16 / 9 in CSS and set the iframe to 100 percent width and height. That turns the fixed snippet into a responsive youtube embed without changing the URL.
Can the embed start at a specific timestamp?
Yes, put the second count into the Start field. A value of 90 begins playback at 1:30. The tool adds start=90 to the embed URL, which works whether or not the original link had a t parameter.
What does the Loop checkbox actually add to the code?
YouTube's loop parameter only works alongside a playlist parameter containing the same video ID, so the tool sets both for you. That quirk trips up people writing embed URLs by hand.
Does the youtube embed code generator support privacy enhanced mode?
The generated snippet uses the standard youtube.com/embed domain. For the privacy enhanced version, swap the domain in the copied code to www.youtube-nocookie.com. Every parameter, including start time and controls, keeps working unchanged.
What causes the playback on other websites has been disabled message?
The uploader turned off embedding for that video, which no embed code can override. It plays only on youtube.com. Choose a different video or link out to the watch page instead.
Is hiding the player controls a good idea for embeds?
Unchecking Show controls sets controls=0, which gives a cleaner frame for background style videos. For anything viewers actually watch, keep controls on, since removing seek and volume options frustrates people and hurts accessibility.
