Enhance Viewer Experience: Remove YouTube Video Controls from Embedded Videos

https://xfanatical.com/blog/remove-youtube-video-controls-from-embedded-video/

YouTube videos are an excellent tool for helping your students to learn new things. However, there's some evil in it too. For instance, students can use the control button to view other contents that hold no educational value. And sometimes, they might use those buttons to share materials or cheat. Suggested videos deviate away students from learning class videos. So, how do you remove controls in YouTube embed videos? Let's find out.

Before going further, first, you need to install Safe Doc. It is a leading tool that makes online classrooms safer and more effective for students. So, it's worth installing for every concerned teacher. You can get started with a 30-day trial.

Safe Doc Manages Embed Youtube Video

Controls

Safe Doc manages the Youtube video controls in a fine granularity with the BlockYoutubeEmbedPlayerFeature policy, which includes 6 blocking properties. These functions can help you to reserve control over your embedded videos. And thus, keep your students more focused on their actual studies. Before moving onto the configuration section, let's see the demonstrations.

Block Youtube Related Videos

When you embed a Youtube video, you want your students only to watch that video and not wander off to other luring suggested Youtube videos. Youtube recommends these related videos by algorithms taking information from students and your video. Sometimes, they are totally irrelevant with the video series shared by the teacher. This opens a side gate for students to the unknown wilderness, which is unsafe in the eyes of schools.

Block YouTube Button

To keep your students focused on their education, stop them from going to Youtube in the middle of their studies. Your students need to remember that they are in a classroom, and Youtube is an educational aid at that moment.

So, use the BlockYoutube Button property to eliminate the Youtube button in the control bar. That way, you ensure that the learners stay in their classes.

Block Youtube Copy Link Button

The educational materials in your class are essentially school property. So, you may want to prevent unsolicited sharing of those materials. To ensure that, you must turn off the copy link button in the title bar of the embedded video. The Copy link button is available when the video is embedded in the Privacy-enhanced mode.
