The first thing you need to do is locate the youtube video that you would like to embed on your website.

Go below the video and click on the share button as shown below:

When you click the share button, below you will see an option to Embed the video. Click on the Embed tab.

Before you rush ahead to copy and paste the embed code on your website, click on the show more button.

This is where you will get the options to resize the youtube video along with disabling the suggested video when the video finishes, hide or show player controls, etc.

Personally, I uncheck all the boxes. This allow visitors on my website to be focused on my content and not going over to youtube to watch related videos or video that they have seen recently.

After you have finished personalizing the video, copy and paste the embed code into your website.

Lets go to page 2 to see how to embed the video to your website properly.

Thank you - I knew how to embed correctly but didn't know I could un-check those boxes. I was worried about losing people as they clicked onto YouTube - but from now on I won't!

Nice training!
I didn't know that you could double click to enlarge the video!
My videos include the enlarge (full screen) icon on the bottom right as well as the usual icons.

When you uncheck the boxes as shown within the tutorial, this will enable or disable those controls.

You may leave them unchecked if you prefer to do so.
