    If you don't want YouTube's branding, why not host and serve your own videos?

    I like the tutorial but I have some few questions to ask. Why removed the logo and what's the reason? I think leaving their logo is just a good way of appreciation of using their service for free

    So they lied in their blog?

    YouTube Blog: The next step in embedded videos: HD preview images and a logoless option

    And the autoplay tip is in their help section...

    So no, these all don't.

    why not host and serve your own videos?
    Use less resources and increase load time.

      Nope, of course they didn't - I hit Submit before I finished typing...

      YT's stance may have changed on the player controls since I read a post about somebody getting their fingers slapped over it (and naturally, I can't find the post now).

    What I probably should do is shut up before I dig a hole to China...but instead of deleting my previous posts, I shall leave them for posterity

    In YT's latest developer API sheet at https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters they do in fact let you not show the player controls on html5 and AS3 players.

    Crow tastes good early in the morning, everyone should try some at least once.

      Steve,

      Don't worry about it, mate.

      My first reaction was the same as yours but now I've added Youtube to Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google on my list of "Don't comment on TOS and/or technical issues anymore cos they probably changed everything last night while I was sleeping".

    ...or you could just go to VTubeTools - Custom youtube embed players with parameters like playlist, autoplay, loop, bb code and do it there in a jiffy.

    Have you seen this new feature on YouTube....

    I think it's just for 'partners' ... it let's you add your logo to all your YT videos

    Once you are logged into your YT account - go to:
    Settings - Channel Settings - InVideo Programming
    Here you can add your logo / branding across all of your videos.

    (There is also an option here to feature a video on all your other videos too - which is a great way to cross promote)
