How To find video ID?
Different Customized Players
Style 1 : Default Player
The default player can be easily embedded into your webpage.The code for the default player is given below.
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Video ID" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
|
Replace the video ID with your video ID.
Style 2 : Only Thumbnail + Circle Play Button
This is a light weight version of the player.This embed player doesn't have the button panel and id chromeless.This player has a thumbnail preview with a circle play button at the center.This is a quick way of loading your webpage.This code can reduce your page size by over 300kb.We highly recommend to use this.
To add an embedded player like this use the below code.
<div class="youtube" id="Your Video ID" style="width: 320px; height: 180px;"></div>

A sample video player of the above code.

var playerObj = document.getElementById("ytPlayer");

}
// The "main method" of this sample. Called when someone clicks "Run".
function loadPlayer() {
// The video to load
var videoID = "YOUR VIDEO ID"
// Lets Flash from another domain call JavaScript
var params = { allowScriptAccess: "always" };
// The element id of the Flash embed
