Important Update:

It seems that Youtube changed something with its code.

My stop command can not be used anymore when you turn the controls of.
You can only add it when you keep the controls on.

Hello my friends.

Do you want to add a Youtube video to your site but don't know how?

Are you annoyed that many videos on Youtube display the URL of a shop at the end of the video and you can't use them for that reason?

Well, I found a way how to make an embedded video stop playing at the time you want it to stop.
I wanted to use a great video to a product but in the last few seconds of the video was the website of a competitor displayed and I didn't want to send my readers there.

So now my embedded video just stops before that and my visitors will not see the URL of that other site! :)

Watch the video to learn that easy and simple trick.

The code you are going to add is very short. It's just:

&end=xx

"xx" stands for the seconds after which you want the video to stop.
Please note that it only works with seconds, so if you want to stop it after 1:04, like in my video, you will have to write "&end=64".

Also make sure to add it inside the quotation marks in which the url of the video is written and don't put any spaces in the code.

UPDATE:

Thanks to Jovo's question I had another look at the codes and there is actually another trick.
Not only can you stop the player at a given time, you can also let it start whenever you want!

Maybe you don't like the first minute of a video, but the rest is great?
No problem.
Just add &start=xx before the &end=xx and the video will start at that point.
Again, this has to be in seconds!
Of course you can use the &start=xx command without the &end=xx command, too.

I will update the video, or make a completely new video, when I have the time.

Any questions?

Let me know in the comments.

Have a good one!

Moritz

No problem. :)

I only thought about that after I finished and uploaded the video.
I might record a new video which shows both.

Hey! I didn't realise you were on here...
Can you help me? I am trying to do your tricky thing and although the video embeds, I think I am putting that snip of code in the wrong place or something. I am trying to start a video 20 seconds in and stop it after 6 minutes 30 seconds...exactly where should I put the two bits of code in the following:


I was feeling really clever until none of it worked!
Cheers

Oh bother! WA won't let me paste the code, even in plain text. What now???? hmmmm - I'll try a PM, but that probably won't work either!
If I send you my email address, could you help me?
