Hi!
Is there any way to embed YouTube video to WordPress page and user cannot click to see it in YouTube?
Thanks

Hi @loke2,
I would try having a look at the Video Customization Options section in the following support document:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/#video-customization-optionsYou can remove the top information bar by appending &showinfo=0 to the youtube link in the shortcode you have to use.
By doing so, you’ll be left with just a play button.

Thanks for answer. If i use your code, i always get “An error occurred. Please try again later”.

Now it works and link to YouTube page in top is gone.
But now in bottom row is “Watch on youtube.com” link.
Modestbranding don’t help.

Glad you were able to get the code working.
Unfortunately, I think this is as much as you can get to stripping away any external info from embedded YouTube videos.
That link you’re seeing is actually part of the video controller so seeing that can’t be helped. It really wouldn’t be in a third-party’s interest to not promote links to their own service, as such is the case with YouTube, Vimeo, and other third-party video hosts.
If keeping visitors on your site without having the distraction of branded videos is a key point for you, I’d recommend looking into WordPress.com’s very own VideoPress.
The easiest way to upload videos to your website and display them using a fast, unbranded, customizable player with rich stats.

VideoPress would only be in your interest if you are uploading your own videos of course.
