What does privacy mode change?

It swaps youtube.com for youtube-nocookie.com. YouTube then stores no tracking cookie on the visitor's device until they press play. It helps with GDPR and cookie-banner rules.

Why is my autoplay muted?

Every major browser blocks autoplay with sound. The tool adds mute=1 whenever you turn autoplay on, because without it the player will not start at all.

How do I stop YouTube showing other channels at the end?

Turn off related videos. That adds rel=0, which limits the end screen to videos from the same channel. YouTube removed the option to hide suggestions completely.

Why does my embed not work on GitHub?

GitHub strips iframe tags from Markdown for security. Use the Markdown fallback this tool produces: a thumbnail image that links to the video.

YouTube Embed Code Generator

Paste a YouTube link and get the iframe code, with a live preview beside it. Responsive is the default, so the player fills its container at every screen width with no fixed pixel height to break on phones. Privacy mode uses youtube-nocookie.com, which sets no cookie until the viewer presses play. Set a start and end time, turn related videos off, hide the controls, mute, loop, or pick a 9:16 frame for Shorts. The tool also gives you a Markdown fallback, because GitHub and most Markdown renderers strip iframes.
