How To Stop In Video Links On Youtube

Updated December 16, 2020

I of the most popular posts on this blog for the final five years (!) was nearly how to remove related videos from the cease of an embedded YouTube video. Information technology consistently brought in tens of thousands of visits a yr. That is, until recently, when traffic to that post started to dip significantly.

I figured the mail was starting to show its historic period (five Internet years is equivalent to 1,253 human years then…), simply so I came across a new feature in YouTube that explains it:

You tin can at present cull whether to display related videos on an embedded YouTube video past unselecting a checkbox in the YouTube user interface!

Nope. That doesn't work now either. That sentence to a higher place was written in Jan 2018, and sadly that workaround didn't last very long.

As of this update, on Dec 16, 2020, the just way to really turn off related videos at the end of your YouTube video embed, is to use the Embed Plus for Youtube plugin. Or ditch YouTube entirely since this concern is starting to get annoying. Other options for hosting your video are DailyMotion, Vimeo and Wistia.

The good news is that if you are even so using "?rel=0" at the cease of the video URL in the vain hope of turning off related videos, all is not lost. As of this latest update, it will ensure that users are sent on to videos from your channel. Which is a lot meliorate than beingness sent to a "related video" from the competition!

Feel free to read on, but the rest of this blog post is pretty much outdated now.

Visit the page of the YouTube video yous would like to embed. For our purposes, I'1000 going to get with this gorgeous embrace of Imagine Dragon'south song "Laic" by Koolulam.

Click on the Share push under the video:
Click on the Embed link at the bottom of the Share pop-upward box:
Now you will see a box with a few pieces of information: the embed lawmaking that you tin can copy paste into your web page; and a number of checkboxes with options (curl downward to see them, it's no and then articulate that theyr'east there), one of which is…"Evidence suggested videos when the video finishes." Unselect that box.
When you check and uncheck boxes information technology modifies the embed code that appears at the acme of the box. Once you lot are satisfied with the results, copy the embed code wherever you want and voilà! No more related videos on your embedded YouTube video.
