Quick summary
Getting a YouTube embed link lets you place any YouTube video directly on your website using an iframe embed code. YouTube's built-in Share > Embed tool generates the code instantly and lets you customize playback options before copying.
Steps
- Go to youtube.com and open the video you want to embed.
- Click Share below the video player, then click Embed from the share options.
- The embed code will appear in a box — this is the full iframe code used to embed the video on a website.
- To customize the embed, check or uncheck options such as Show player controls and Enable privacy-enhanced mode below the code box.
- Click Copy to copy the full embed code.
- If you only need the direct embed URL, copy the src link from the embed code in the format https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID.
