Change The Embed Color Of YouTube Video Player

The YouTube video player uses two colors, default color which is metallic white and another one is a dark theme. If you are using IFRAMEs to embed YouTube videos on your blog, then you can easily change the color of the YouTube Video Player by adding a new parameter called theme to the URL.

YouTube team says they will make the black color video player default within few weeks, so if you are a fan of light color theme, you do have a option.

For Light Color Video Player :

  2. Great share. Changing the youtube player will certainly add some dash to your site rather than using the boring and same old vanilla player.
