I have a website that has embedded videos from youtube on it.
Is there any way to enable chromecasting on them? I've seen several news articles saying there is chromecast support for embedded youtube videos, but I can't find any documentation on it.
Do I add any parameters to the video url?
Normally you don't have to add anything to a youtube video to be compatible with the chromecast, just use the youtube's provided link and it should work.

"Casting from YouTube is supported from the YouTube app, YouTube.com, and most embedded YouTube videos."
Have a nice day!

I want to embed the youtube upload page of my channel on my website.
I would like to know how I could do this. iframe doesn't seem to work.
There are two options available for you: (1) embed the webpage as a blockquote using Embedly, or (2) make a playlist of your uploaded videos and embed the playlist.
Use Embedly: The website Embedly uses a script to embed any webpage, including the uploads page of your YouTube channel, into a block quote. You'll be using their script in your HTML, so no guarantees on quality.
Make a playlist of your uploaded videos, then embed the playlist into your website by following the instructions on this page.
Good luck!
Looking at Youtube's API ... https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters
They do have a user uploads feed.
https://www.youtube.com/embed?listType=user_uploads&list=USERNAME
IE for focuspullin channel
https://www.youtube.com/embed?listType=user_uploads&list=focuspullin
It provides a video as a and with a playlists that could be used in a iframe
But I would consider this subject to change. Google's knowledge graph shows completely different, older information, about an RSS feed. Unable to find that and it may no longer exist, [but there are several stackoverflow Q and A that reference it from a few years back.]
I am working on a site that will allow users to upload their videos on my site, for example a dance performance. I am using <iframe></iframe> to embed video. Everything was going fine, but suddenly I noticed YouTube is restricting some videos to play on my site.
In my case the error was:
I know some users have asked similar questions like 'why it is happening' etc. I know it has to do with some copyright issues, for example a dance performance may have a background music playing which happens to be someone others property. The thing is, I am not 'claiming' copyrights and even, not me but my users will upload their videos from their YouTube accounts(using URL).
So Is there anyway to play all those videos like if I can request YouTube to let my site play those videos with a disclaimer explaining that my site doesn't have copyrights of these videos?
Does using iframe to point at the non-embedded youtube widget work? If so you could use javascript to extract the player from the regular youtube.
Not sure about the legality of that.
What are you trying to do? Potentially you could use the youtube api and make a mobile app that is not embedding videos.
I would like to know if there is a way I can put an hyperlink on a video that is from my own website, like Youtube does. The video is in mp4 format and I don't know wether there is a kind of embedded javascript code or something for doing that task. I thank you very much your attention.
I am currently managing my website through wordpress I would like to know if there is a way to do that by this way.
I can't just simply upload the video to Youtube and then embed the video in my website because the videos I am currently administrating are private.
I think you mean you want to play your video directly on your website without having to upload it to a video service like youtube. For this you'd need to use the HTML5 video tag in your template(if you have access to your code). Or I'm guessing wordpress would have plugins for this that would just allow you to upload your video file and it would play it in your template for you.

In another word,
how to make youtube click on video goes to another URL? affiliate link for example.
Thank you
That's not possible. You can't change the default link behavior of an embedded YouTube video. Not in the iFrame and not in the older object version.
If that would work it would be a huge security vulnerability.
See these documentation articles for your possibilities on how to embed a YouTube video:

I want to embed videos from different video sites like YouTube, Vimeo and so on...
But I have a problem:
The Skins of the players are all different
and I want a consistent video skin.
Is there any possiblity to get this work?
I can't host the videos on my server because I have to pay for the traffic
and that would make me poor =(
I know that Youtube at least has a chromeless player, you can check out the API here: http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/js_api_reference.html#GettingStarted
I don't know about any of the other sites, though. I'd try Googling the name of the site and "chromeless" or "api" to see what comes up.
Simply put, no. The video site content has to include the skin for each site, unless you rip the video out and self-host it.
There's a reason for this, and I doubt you'd want to see the sites all fold/go paid because of people hijacking content without attribution.
Try Media Element JS
It wraps your youtube and vimeo video to a HTML5 video, no need to host the video on your website. The script from the website can take youtube and vimeo videos and make convert them into HTML5 video.
One side effect of this script is that since it can convert both Youtube and vimeo videos to HTML5 then the players will be the exact same for both of them.
Hope that helps,
regards
