How to Remove the YouTube Search Bar
When you embed a YouTube video into another web page, you will notice that a search bar hangs over the video at certain times. This is done to promote YouTube and so that users can easily search for other videos from the embedded location. If you want to remove the YouTube search bar, you can do so by amending the embedded code. There is one extra parameter that needs to be added to the embed code for this to work.
