I’ve added a video using the Video Embed stack and wondered if there was a way of not displaying some of the junk YouTube likes to add to videos, specifically the Subscribe fold out that happens when a visitor hovers over the account name top left, and all the related videos that display as thumbs at the end.
Thanks
Rob
The stack cannot get rid of that stuff unfortunately. I believe that has to be done in YouTube’s YouTube Studio in your account. I haven’t personally tired to do it myself, but I’d suspect that’s where you’d need to make the changes.
I think there’s a modest branding setting that could be applied, but it seems to have its problems if not used in conjunction with other settings. Let me try a few things and get back to you.
Scratch that. The thing that would be needed is the showinfo parameter, which YouTube depreciated back in 2018. I don’t currently see that they’ve added any alternative to the embedded parameters.
I suspected that would be the case. I had a good mooch around YouTube and they seem to have removed a lot of the stuff you used to be able to do. Not to worry. Thanks.
@Rob This is easily done with a Vimeo paid account (e.g. Plus). I realize that may not be an option but just so you know. It’s hard to believe it’s not possible with a YouTube paid account for your own videos.
That said, most users are savvy about what to ignore in YouTube. So I doubt it would be a big problem. But I certainly understand why you’d want to eliminate if possible!
Funnily enough we’re looking into Vimeo Plus now. 
Let me know if you have any specific questions. Their docs are pretty good. Also I sometimes forget what you can do with a free account: may be enough for you
Thanks. One of the main things is to get rid of the gallery of videos at the end. I think that’s only possible with the Plus account.
I’m not sure. I think you’re right, but easy to check out. Upload a video using a free account and see what you can tweak.
I’m finding it hard to find a description of the differences between free and Plus. This page gives Plus and more advanced options:
They used to provide much more detailed info about differences between free and Plus but it looks like that info has now gone bye-bye
do it. its desperatley needed. people don;t watch my sites because of the trashy waits and new popups. Rapid Weaver is the bomb. Thanks and appreciatons. Your tired from success. don’t let that stop you. Please?

I have no control over what YouTube adds to a video.
I think he meant by playing around was he wanted to verify what options a user might have. Unfortunately all that garbage stuff from Youtube comes from YouTube and is under their control.
I use Vimeo for that exact reason.
an unsplash would be significant
Same here. I just got fed up with having no control over YouTube.
While I understand their business model, it’s very annoying.
So, I switched to Vimeo too.
Almost everything is possible (customizable) when using Pro.
It’s not cheap, but it’s worth the money.
