Embed videos and playlists

The privacy-enhanced mode of the YouTube embedded player prevents the use of views of embedded YouTube content from influencing the viewer's browsing experience on YouTube. This means that the view of a video shown in the privacy-enhanced mode of the embedded player will not be used to personalise the YouTube browsing experience, either within your privacy-enhanced mode embedded player or in the viewer's subsequent YouTube viewing experience.

If ads are served on a video shown in the privacy-enhanced mode of the embedded player, those ads will likewise be non-personalised. In addition, the view of a video shown in the privacy-enhanced mode of the embedded player will not be used to personalise advertising shown to the viewer outside of your site or app.

As a reminder, the YouTube API Terms of Service and developer policies apply to the access and use of the YouTube embedded player.

To use privacy-enhanced mode:

1. Change the domain for the embed URL in your HTML from https://youtube.com to https://youtube-nocookie.com.
2. For network administrators: You'll need to add youtube-nocookie.com to the firewall allowlist.
3. For use in applications, use a WebView instance of the embedded player. Privacy-enhanced mode is currently available only for embedded players on websites.
4. Important: If your website or app is child-directed, you must self-designate your site or app using these tools, as required by the YouTube API Terms of Service and developer policies, even if you embed YouTube videos with the privacy-enhanced mode player.

Example:

Before

<iframe width="1440" height="762"

src="https://youtube.com/embed/7cjVj1ZyzyE"

frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

After

<iframe width="1440" height="762" src="https://youtube-nocookie.com/embed/7cjVj1ZyzyE"

frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

To make an embedded video auto-play, add '&autoplay=1' to the video's embed code right after the video ID (the series of letters that follows 'embed/').

Embedded videos that are auto-played don't increment video views.

Example:

<iframe width="560" height="315"
src="https://youtube.com/embed/D6Ac5JpCHmI?&autoplay=1"frameborder="0"
allowfullscreen></iframe>

To have a video start playing from a specific point, add '?start=' to a video's embed code, followed by the time in seconds at which you'd like the video to begin playing.

For example, if you want a video to start at 1 minute and 30 seconds into the video, your embed code would look something like this:

<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://youtube.com/embed/UkWd0azv3fQ?start=90" width="420"></iframe>

Make captions automatically appear on an embedded video by adding '&cc_load_policy=1' to the video's embed code.

You can also choose a caption language for the embedded video. To specify the caption language for the video that you'd like to embed, just add '&cc_lang_pref=fr&cc_load_policy=1' to the video's embed code.

• 'cc_lang_pref' sets the language for the captions shown in the video.
• 'cc_load_policy=1' turns captions on by default.
• 'fr' represents the language code for French. You can look up two-letter language codes in the ISO 639-1 standard.

1. Sign in to YouTube Studio.
2. From the left-hand menu, select Content.
3. Next to the video that you'd like to manage, select Details .
4. From the bottom, select SHOW MORE.
5. Untick the box next to 'Allow embedding' and SAVE.
