Is there a way of linking to an external website through YouTube Videos, by creating annotations links?
That is, the link is embedded in the video. An example of what I want is given in this video. When viewed, there's a link in the bottom left corner.
It can be done with 'LinkedTube' but it is not 'annotations' style.
I searched the Youtube API also but didn't find anything related to annotations control.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Youtube prohibits external links by default, but it is still possible to insert the external link. To do so you have two options:
Have a paid account
Buy some amount of ad
I think you have to contact youtube sales to discuss the details.
P.S.: We used external links here, check out the top right corner of the video.
You can do it if you uploaded the video to your YouTube account.
In settings, you'll enter the link and text to be displayed when your video plays.
There are a few tutorials on YouTube that show exactly what steps to do, like this one.

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.]
When something is shared from youtube to facebook, facebook is now showing the youtube html5 player.
If you look up one of their urls (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuS5ZyQhvsk) in the open graph debugger you can see that they are now providing open graph meta data for their html player as well as the flash one.
I also have a player that sits in an iframe, and am now including the same tags that youtube is, minus the flash ones as we don't have a flash player, but it isn't working and facebook is giving me this error which doesn't make sense:
Share has playable media but will not play inline because it would cause a mixed content warning if embedded. Add a secure_src or make the video src secure to fix this.
This is the information facebook is reading:
This is the url as an example that is generating that error: https://www.la1tv.co.uk/player/124/260
All I can think is that Facebook has made some kind of deal with youtube and this isn't available for everyone yet, but that isn't clear from that error.
All of the content on our site is served over https.
Anyone know what's going on or got this working?
I can't find any documentation anywhere on facebook how to do this.
I posted a similar question a while back when I was trying to get this working but at this time youtube was still only providing the flash player to facebook.
It looks like someone else was having a similar issue here.
According to WizKid this is currently in a trial period for YouTube and hopefully will be rolled out to everyone at a future date.
I need to embed a youtube video into my site but I need to allow certain people to be able to change the video that is shown without them going into code, How would I do this?
Another thing that could help is how could I automatically embed someones latest video onto the site.
If anyone can answer any of these thank you.
For adding a YouTube video without going into the code you could look at Google Tag Manager or a similar service. For embedding the latest video you might need to look at a YouTube API or similar to pull in the latest videos url.
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
I have one video file inmy system I want it to attach it on my html page.I want same thing with youtube videos also.I want that when i open my html form this video appear as like same as pictures are seen at thumnails.means i dont want only links..I tried stackoverflow links but no one is telling from starting .I am telling u frankly i dont know even making a link of my sytem video file in html form,..I can make links for image,files etc but for video si dont know.So plz guide ..
1.HOw to make a simple link of video file which is in my system drive.
2.HOw this video will be displayed like pictures are displayed at thumbnails
3.How to upload youtube videos(not want only link)...
If you have a video file then you need an image to represent your thumbnail. To create a link that will allow someone to download the video is as simple as:
<a href="url of your video file">
<img src="url of the thumbnail image"/>
</a>
Then the user will see the thumbnail image and when they click on it they will get the video. If you wish to embed the video in a player you can select the player of choice such as FlowPlayer or any of a million others.
You question about you-tube I assume you mean to embed you-tube videos on yout site. If that is the case visit the video on you-tube and there is an embed text box on the page with the code that you must copy and paste into your site.
EDIT:
The FlowPlayer that I linked to (not an endorsement) has a page that describes in great detail how to do what you are asking for here. If you follow each step then you will get exactly what you envision.
Another Edit:
To play a particular file format you need to use an appropriate player. I do not know all the players but you want to make sure that the format you use is popular enough so that users do not have to download special plugins just to see your video.
If you visit the DivX website you will find their embeddable player that can play mkv files on your website. They have a Code Generator that produces the code that you will use to embed the player on your site.
As for various options like starting in pause mode etc you will have to read the documentation of the player that you use to see what options they allow.
you an download ny video from youtube and these videos are in .flv format so why u are taking tension.Just use them frequently.And for youtube videos u do not need to use flowplay just add youtube video url and add object that will be given in that page just above the related video..
But me too do not how to allign it on right side or in middle of the page..Can anybody tell..
