Embed a video exactly the way you want

YouTube's own share box gives you a fixed-size iframe. This generator builds a responsive embed that fills any column, and switches to the youtube-nocookie.com domain so visitors aren't tracked until they press play.

Set a start and end time to show just the part that matters, loop a clip, start muted or hide the controls for a clean background video.

  1. 1

    Paste the link

    Any YouTube URL works — watch, youtu.be, Shorts or embed.

  2. 2

    Pick options

    Privacy mode, autoplay, start time, loop, captions.

  3. 3

    Copy the code

    Paste it into your site, blog post or CMS HTML block.

Frequently asked questions

What does privacy-enhanced mode do?

It loads the player from youtube-nocookie.com, which doesn't store cookies for personalised ads until the viewer plays the video.

Why does autoplay also mute the video?

Browsers only allow autoplay for muted videos, so the generator adds mute=1 automatically when autoplay is on.

Will the embed work on WordPress?

Yes. Paste it into a Custom HTML block (Gutenberg) or the Text tab of the classic editor.
