New YouTube Player Issue - 2007/06/26 05:44
If you were not aware, earlier this month, without notice YouTube made a change to their video player that automatically will provide a "menu" button that if pressed will provide a nice visual "related query" - the problem is that it allows videos to show up on your website that are NOT appropriate and you did not intend. It raised such an outcry that they quickly provided a parameter you can add to the video ID to "turn off" the related query capability.
I recommend you provide this as an option to your solution. Here's the means of doing it as is displayed on the YouTube Blog at:

"If you'd like to turn off the option to see related videos through your embedded player, simply add "&rel=0" after the video ID number in the embed code. Here's an example of what your embed code should look like if you'd like to turn off this feature:
<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xxxxxx&rel=0" ></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src=" http://www.youtube.com/v/xxxxxx&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>
Cheers,
YouTube Team"
