“I don’t like the YouTube player it’s got their logo” or “I don’t want to promote the YouTube logo on my videos”

If I had something for every time I hear one of these comments I’d be better off than I am now.
What people don’t understand is that there is a series of URL parameter hacks, which can solve almost any problem you have with the YouTube Player .

Remove YouTube Logo Watermark

Currently there are two versions of the YouTube logo watermark in distribution
On one the logo is a watermark on the video, the other has the logo displayed in the toolbar.

So to remove either of them you need to use modestbranding

modestbranding=1  turns the logo off
modestbranding=0 turns the logo on

The Iframe embed code is very easy, all you have to do is add modestbranding=1 at the end of the URL, See below

Iframe

<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xxxx?modestbranding=1"
frameborder="0" width="560" height="349"></iframe>

Using the Object code

The object code requires two more steps

The Parameter is the same but you need to add “&” to the beginning &modestbranding=1

You will need to add this to both URL’s

<object width="560" height="349" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0">
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
<param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/egAX8JID8s8?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0&modestbranding=1" />
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed width="560" height="349"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/egAX8JID8s8?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0&modestbranding=1"
allowFullScreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" /></object>

The Results

If you are only using the URL to embed your videos then all you have to use is the following.
