What is YouTube Embed Code?
A YouTube embed code is an HTML snippet that allows you to display a YouTube video directly on your website. The code creates an iframe that loads the YouTube player, enabling visitors to watch videos without leaving your page. Embed codes support various customization options like autoplay, loop, and custom start times.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most browsers block autoplay with sound to prevent unwanted audio. To make autoplay work, you must also enable the Mute option. This is a browser policy, not a YouTube limitation. Muted autoplay works in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
Privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com) doesn't place tracking cookies until the user clicks play. This helps with GDPR compliance and user privacy. The video works the same way but respects visitor privacy better.
Enable the "Responsive Wrapper" option. This adds CSS that makes the video scale proportionally to its container width. The video will maintain its aspect ratio while filling the available space on any screen size.
Enable "Modest Branding" to reduce YouTube branding. Related videos now show only from the same channel (not competitors) when the video ends. You cannot completely remove all YouTube branding as per YouTube's terms.
Common sizes: 560ร315 (standard), 640ร360 (medium), 853ร480 (large), 1280ร720 (HD). For modern websites, use the Responsive option to let the video adapt to any container.
Yes! Enter the start time in seconds in the "Start Time" field. For example, to start at 2 minutes 30 seconds, enter 150. You can also set an end time to stop the video at a specific point.
There's no hard limit, but each embed adds load time. For pages with many videos, consider lazy loading iframes or using thumbnail placeholders that load the video on click to improve performance.
Embedded videos can improve SEO by increasing time on page and engagement. Add descriptive text around videos. Consider adding VideoObject schema markup for additional SEO benefits.
YouTube tracks views from embeds in YouTube Analytics. For more control, use the YouTube IFrame API to add JavaScript event listeners for play, pause, and completion events, then send to Google Analytics.
Yes! Copy the generated code and paste it into a Custom HTML block in the WordPress editor. For the Responsive wrapper, make sure to paste the complete code including the wrapper div and style.
