It will now display related videos from the same channel as the video you have embedded. Before October 2018 the video would just end and return the tone start screen. It actually still works, but not as it used to. Option 1 Make use of the “?rel=0” codeĪdding ?rel=0 onto the end of your YouTube video reference was exactly what the original “show suggested videos when the video finishes” option used to add when you unchecked that control box. So what should you do about it? Well, there are still a couple of choices you have. With this video when we get to the end you will notice that only other videos from Target Internet’s channel are being displayed.

( we have highlighted the ?rel=0 additional code so you can see where this gets inserted.)
OK, lets now take a look at a Standard embed code where we have manually added in the old “?rel=0 ” to the embed URL Clicking on any of these options will open up a new browser tab taking you away from our website and into YouTube. If you play the above video through to the end of the video you will notice you get lots of related videos that YouTube deems relevant to you. Standard embed- here is what the embed code looks like for those of you who are curious. Let’s just explore how that looks and functions in practice with an example one of our own videos. If you have customers who are researching a particular product category and watching a selection of different videos then this could result in prominent visual links to your competitor’s videos showing up within the embed video window on your brand’s website.
You might not realise it but YouTube will choose related videos and personalise the ones it shows based on that YouTube users individual recent watching habits and preferences as well as the context of the video you have embedded. Related video links can cause you a problem if you allow them to trigger unfettered. So what is the big deal with that? Well, it means that if you are embedding videos into your own website, you have just lost an easy way to control whether related videos are shown to the user after the video you embedded has finished playing. ( See below)- apologies for the quality screenshot here- we grabbed it for a walk through we did on this technique as it was the only record we had of how it used to be.)Īs you can see, two of the original four embed code control options have been removed including the all-important ‘ Show suggested videos when the video finishes.” Unchecking the ‘Show suggested videos’ option used to ensure your video just ended and didn’t show any links to other videos. Here is how the embed video settings used to look by default when you selected embed video code on any YouTube video pre- October 2018. It happened quite quietly, and without much announcement but its rather an important shift in how YouTube embeds behave so we thought we had better explore how this changes your sites relationship with YouTube and how you might use video embeds moving forward Back in 2018 YouTube changed the way their embed codes work on third-party sites.
