ShortCode Params

  • video (required)
    • The link at the video
      “http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9tBFVKhn5o”
      or link to playlist like
      “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQ6zr6kCPj8&list=PLatuTuqWSQmViIeVthG2y9YssDtm8EvYt”
      or link to playlist like
      “list=PLatuTuqWSQmViIeVthG2y9YssDtm8EvYt”
      or only the id of video like
      _9tBFVKhn5o
      or link to uploads video of user
      “list=LMFAOVEVO&listType=user_uploads”
    • The list value of link (you can put entire url on video without use this param)

    • Values: 2 (default), 1, and 0. This parameter indicates whether the video controls will automatically hide after a video begins playing. The default behavior (autohide=2) is for the video progress bar to fade out while the player controls (play button, volume control, etc.) remain visible.

      If this parameter is set to 1, then the video progress bar and the player controls will slide out of view a couple of seconds after the video starts playing. They will only reappear if the user moves her mouse over the video player or presses a key on her keyboard.
      If this parameter is set to 0, the video progress bar and the video player controls will be visible throughout the video and in fullscreen.

    • Values: 0 or 1. Default is 0. Sets whether or not the initial video will autoplay when the player loads.

    • Values: 0 or 1. Default is 0. Sets whether or not the video mute when the player loads.

    • Values: 1. Default is based on user preference. Setting to 1 will cause closed captions to be shown by default, even if the user has turned captions off.

    • ISO 639-1 two-letter language code [ex. en]

    • This parameter specifies the color that will be used in the player’s video progress bar to highlight the amount of the video that the viewer has already seen. Valid parameter values are red and white, and, by default, the player will use the color red in the video progress bar. See the YouTube API blog for more information about color options.

    • Values: 0, 1, or 2. Default is 1. This parameter indicates whether the video player controls will display. For IFrame embeds that load a Flash player, it also defines when the controls display in the player as well as when the player will load:

      • controls=0 – Player controls do not display in the player. For IFrame embeds, the Flash player loads immediately.
      • controls=1 – Player controls display in the player. For IFrame embeds, the controls display immediately and the Flash player also loads immediately.
      • controls=2 – Player controls display in the player. For IFrame embeds, the controls display and the Flash player loads after the user initiates the video playback.
      • Values: 0 or 1. Default is 0. Setting to 1 will disable the player keyboard controls. Keyboard controls are as follows:

        • Spacebar: Play / Pause
        • Arrow Left: Jump back 10% in the current video
        • Arrow Right: Jump ahead 10% in the current video
        • Arrow Up: Volume up
        • Arrow Down: Volume Down
