YouTube have launched an array of changes in the last 48 hours.
One thing you may have noticed is that by default embedded videos now feature a YouTube search bar at the top of them. If this is not to your liking, relax – it’s easily overcome.
LifeHacker explains:
YouTube recently added, without warning, a top-aligned search bar to pretty much every embedded video across the net. Want to turn them off on your own embeds? Add &showsearch=0 in the embed code.
You add this code to the EMBED SRC section as demonstrated below.
Example:
<object width=”480″ height=”385″><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/DsR1Z_coX_8&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0″></param><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”></param><param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always”></param><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/DsR1Z_coX_8&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&showsearch=0” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowscriptaccess=”always” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”480″ height=”385″></embed></object>
