What Youtube video player to use on a sales page?

I still see an option to disable "Show suggested videos when the video finishes". Are you logged into a Youtube account?

There are lots of URL modifiers that can be tacked-on at the end of YouTube URLs that make it possible to do things such as not show related videos, start or stop at a certain place, etc. In your case, you would add ?rel=0 to the end of the URL to make it not show related videos. Make sure that what you add is still within the quotation marks (i.e. "...youtube.com/embed/123563idfekbh57?rel=0").

?rel=0 .... that now causes your own related videos to show up. So for a sales page people might often click on those, and then you lose the sale. It use to be before Sept 25th that it just stops the video and no "related videos" pop up. Now they changed that.

Just seeing how I can have the video play and stop at the end with no related videos, no distractions. Because you don't want to have the viewer click on the next video and go youtube.

vimeo is a bit of a fix I discovered. So that fixes the mute setting, and at the end they show 3 very small thumbnails so it's less clickbait but the problem is that you have to upgrade to get that endscreen customizable. I just wonder how you'd embed it up to run without having to put up with all these intrustiveness of the player itself. It should just play and end, and that's it, no extra videos or any other crap to steal your traffic.

Well I tried most of them. They don't work. Only Vimeo and or embed it direct.

If you have the webhosting plan why not use your own web bandwidth and hosting to host the video? If it has to be professional then you rid yourself of the EULA agreement or whatnot.

Flash Player also has hotkeys like ? or was it h or my favorite shift + > or < to control playback speed in *tube

Try YouTube API Values to embed YouTube Player.

Another very popular option is Wistia. It's used by a lot of marketers.

I'm using a brand new video player called Explaindio Player. It takes care of all of the ridiculous changes that YouTube implemented.

It's bad enough that Google basically has a monopoly on traffic, now they have decided to poach as much as they can from our private websites as well.

Make no mistake, that is exactly what those changes are designed to do. They siphon traffic from embedded videos on your website right back to YouTube.

It's really ironic, too, because just last week YouTube shut down several very large Internet Marketer's channels and the suspected reason was that these people were redirecting too much traffic away from YouTube. So now YouTube turned around and is basically doing the same exact thing to the "little guy" who works hard for all the traffic he/she can get to his/her website.

Anyway, Explaindio Player is a cool software and it was created by Andrew Darius, who made the original Explaindio software that creates explainer videos.

I just picked up an account last night and I am very pleased. It doesn't address every single problem as of yet, but it addresses a lot of them, and he said he is working on the rest.

Other than something like that, you can go with a Vimeo Business account for around $50 a month or host your videos on Amazon S3 and use a plugin to create your video player. I'm using a plugin that works with S3 called "EZ WP Plug-n-Player." It's a premium plugin but was not very expensive, and it lets you create pretty decent custom players and all you have to do is plug in the path where your video is hosted on S3 and the plugin spits out a shortcode that you embed.

Neither of these is really ideal if you are not looking to shell out extra cash, but in this case it seems like it's going to be necessary.
