There are several variants and alternatives that you can use. If you simply want to have a classic video at a certain position, first call up the video. Then click on "Share" and the option "Embed" should appear. Now you will receive an HTML code - you can copy and paste this code as you wish into the field for creating your domain or blog.

Yes, you certainly can! No matter what domain or blog it is: With a few little tricks you can cleverly influence the Youtube embedding so that it attracts even more attention. For example, you can use the command " "&autoplay=1″ " immediately after the embed code to automatically play the video for the visitor. This increases the number of video views many times over - especially worthwhile if you are the channel owner yourself. You can also use the code "#t=" followed by the number of minutes and seconds to select a specific location where the video should start. This is a useful trick to draw attention directly to what is important. You can also activate the so-called Extended Privacy - this should be available at every common domain creator. Then the visitors on your site will not be saved - only those who watch the video. So you always have a better overview of what is happening.
The code "?vq=hd720" guarantees a HD resolution if you put it behind the video. If you want the video to play in a continuous loop, use the code "?loop=1".
Then there is another command that many do not know: The one that puts subtitles under the video. And it's automatic! To do this, you have to enter the command "&cc_load_policy=1" to specify the subtitle's activation. In many cases helpful and helps to concentrate.
