The unchecking the show controls option in Default Settings tab might give you a better experience:
Show Controls: Show the player’s control bar. Unchecking this option creates a cleaner look but limits what your viewers can control (play position, volume, etc.).
Thanks for reply.
So I have a choice of no controls/or a button that strongly encourages visitor to leave my site? There is no other way to just get rid of that annoying button?
Is this a new feature just in your plugin, or is this feature (go to YouTube button) a new YouTube requirement?
Thanks for any suggestions.
This plugin doesn’t add anything to the YouTube player. Everything you see on the player is inherently YouTube. Also, the go to YouTube button is also not that new as YouTube has inserted it a while ago.
Just asking because I’ve never seen that button on other people’s sites (when they have embedded YouTube videos) – and I do a lot of surfing these days.
It looks like “modestbranding” is the attribute you want:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters#modestbranding
“This parameter lets you use a YouTube player that does not show a YouTube logo. Set the parameter value to 1 to prevent the YouTube logo from displaying in the control bar. Note that a small YouTube text label will still display in the upper-right corner of a paused video when the user’s mouse pointer hovers over the player.”
