How can I tell?

Step 1: Customize Settings & Copy Embed Code

  1. Click on Share beneath the video.
  2. Choose the Embed button.
  3. If desired, change your Video Size by adjusting the width and height numbers located between the quotation marks. This can always be adjusted at a later point.
  4. At the very end of the video's URL, right before the closing quotation mark, enter: ?rel=0. This removes related videos from displaying after your video finishes.
  5. (Above) Highlighted is the video's URL.

    (Above) Highlighted is ?rel=0. This should go after the URL and before the quotation mark.
