You Tube embedded player search

You tube has made lots of changes to its site.One of the annoying parts in the changes is the Youtube search bar.This search bar keeps popping up whenever the user hovers over the video making them get irritated.The Google people have not given any option to avoid it.But, from the YouTube embedded player API hosted on Google Code we are able to device a solution to this.So, follow the below simple step to avoid search bar in embedded videos.

  1. As always first get your embedded code from the You Tube site in a normal manner.
  2. Now search for the phrase where it says &fs=0.
  3. Exactly after that place the string ;&showsearch=0.
  4. Don't change any other parts of the code.
  5. Simply use the new code to embed the video and Presto!It's gone.

    Thanks for the tip - removing the search bar should really cut down the people that leave before watching the entire video.

    Lucky, thats strange I mean I don't remember seeing Search Bar recently where ever I go and view videos which are from youtube, I will re visit those sites and see whether I ignored the search bar but as far as I remember I don't see it, yeah at the end of the video they give the list of other videos which is good, maybe they updated their API since then? it's been 6-7months now, any info?

  • http://www.eurekatips.com LuckyMurari

    Yeah. They have updated their API since then. They were flooded by lot of people asking not to do it and hence they removed it owing to the feedback
