How to embed a YouTube channel into a webpage

Question

Can anyone suggest how I embed a youtube channel into a webpage - I am getting conflicting information from various sites, ideally using the custom player if possible? thanks

Answer 1

YouTube supports a fairly easy to use iframe and url interface to embed videos, playlists and all user uploads to your channel: https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters

For example this HTML will embed a player loaded with a playlist of all the videos uploaded to your channel. Replace YOURCHANNELNAME with the actual name of your channel:

<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/?listType=user_uploads&list=YOURCHANNELNAME" width="480" height="400"></iframe>                   

Answer 2

In order to embed your channel, all you need to do is copy then paste the following code in another web-page.

<script src="http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://www.google.com/ig/modules/youtube.xml&up_channel=YourChannelName&synd=open&w=320&h=390&title=&border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&output=js"></script>

Make sure to replace the YourChannelName with your actual channel name.

For example: if your channel name were CaliChick94066 your channel embed code would be:

<script src="http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://www.google.com/ig/modules/youtube.xml&up_channel=CaliChick94066&synd=open&w=320&h=390&title=&border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&output=js"></script>

Please look at the following links:

You just have to name the URL to your channel name. Also you can play with the height and the border color and size. Hope it helps

Except that YTchannelembed doesn't actually embed the channel, merely linked thumbnails, all of which lead off-site. The Youmax solution for jQuery does actually embed though: http://www.codehandling.com/2013/03/youmax-20-complete-youtube-channel-on.html

Answer 4

I quickly did this for anyone else coming onto this page:

<object width="425" height="344">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/u1zgFlCw8Aw?fs=1"</param>
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param>
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param>
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/u1zgFlCw8Aw?fs=1"
  type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
  allowfullscreen="true"
  allowscriptaccess="always"
  width="425" height="344">
</embed>
</object>
