Hi all,

I'd like to embed a youtube video, but don't want the user to be able to click away from my site. How can I disable the hyperlink - or even better, make the hyperlink go to my product?

Thanks.

    Sorry to say, if you're embedding a player from YouTube then you have no control over the player. You can't change a thing.

    If you want to customize the player, then you need to host the video file yourself, and add a flash player to your site. Which ain't quite as simple as the YouTube embed.

    Is this your own video you made or one you just found? If its one you made, maybe you can use another type of player to put on your website. We use Joomla and there are many modules that will give you different types of players other than you tube. There are other options out there; why can't you have your products on the same page as the video? I think more info is needed to really answer the questions or better, get a solution.

    Try JWPlayer... also, I believe that's a setting in the embed code itself, no?
