Allow URL options for Youtube Embedded videos in Wix Video App

Using the Wix Video app for adding a channel to a site, this seems to embed the YouTube video link (which is great) into a the video app. For any youtube linked video that is added to the video library, it is actually an HTML embedded video on the Wix Video App. I need to be able to edit the video in the video actual settings the “Controls” and all other features that can be packed into the URL to edit the style of the embedded video. These settings can be added as options in the video edit on the Video Library dashboard, and would actually be injected into the URL of the embedded video. An example of this can be found here:

The developers at WIX would simply add these options so that they could be added onto the URL of the embed YouTube video.We should also be able to “disable recommended videos” when the video ends by adding “&rel=0” to the embed URL. Embed query parameters for YouTube:

- rel
- controls
- showinfo
- allowfullscreen

These are the ones that I can see that would be added right on the embed URL. This should be relatively easy for the developers to add. The reasons I have for requiring this is because I have “unlisted” Youtube videos for members and subscribers only.

Once a Youtube video starts playing in the LiveStreams section, the viewer can click the YouTube icon inside the video controls at the bottom right, and be directed straight to the actual unlisted YouTube video on the YouTube site. I want to prevent this action, so that the video can only be watched inside the web page.

I want to still user the Video Player App with channels because it is nice. The only other option would be to create a custom embed inside an HTML element in WIX, and I do not want to do that as I want to preserve the WIX Video App for channels.

--------

My idea would be to have check boxes for these query parameters on the video edit settings from the Dashboard. Behind the scene these boolean check boxes would simply add the appropriate query parameter discussed in the original message to the embedded URL.

This is more of a request than an issue, therefore you would be best suited putting it in the Wishlist instead.

If you want to do something like that yourself, then you would have to look at embedding your YouTube video through an iFrame where you can edit the used html code instead of using the Wix Videoplayer app.

I can see how this can be classified as a request, however the ability to embed Vimeo or Youtube inside the Wix Video app should probably have the features of those interfaces?
