YouTube Embed Code Generator

Customise autoplay, start time, controls, and size — then copy a paste-ready iframe HTML snippet.

Why customise the embed

The defaults aren’t always what you want.

YouTube's share menu gives you a single iframe with the default parameters baked in. For most marketing pages, course platforms, and blog posts, you actually want different defaults — autoplay muted, start time set to the relevant 30 seconds, controls hidden, related-video suggestions turned off so viewers don't leave. This tool surfaces those options so you don't have to remember the parameter names.

Where it fits

A thumbnail is what gets clicked. The embed is what plays.

Most creators think about embeds in two contexts: showing a clip on their own site (a landing page, support doc, or course module) and configuring autoplay rules to keep visitors engaged. Both rely on the thumbnail looking compelling at small sizes — which is where SRGE Studio comes in.

FAQ

Common questions

Will autoplay actually work in my embed?

Most browsers block unmuted autoplay to protect users — so if you want autoplay to actually trigger, you also need mute set to 1. The tool toggles both together when you enable autoplay.

How is the start time encoded?

Embedded iframes use the start parameter measured in seconds: ?start=125 jumps to 2:05. The tool converts your hours/minutes/seconds picker into the right value automatically.

Can I hide YouTube’s branding?

Pass modestbranding=1 (on by default). YouTube no longer fully hides their logo, but the embed gets a minimal player chrome without the floating YouTube watermark in the corner.

Are there iframe size requirements?

Keep the 16:9 aspect ratio. 560×315 is YouTube's classic embed size; 640×360, 853×480, and 1280×720 are common scaled-up alternatives. The tool generates responsive width=100% iframes by default.
