I have tried to embed videos without youtube branding because it sends my traffic to youtube. I set modestbranding=1
and showinfo=0
but I still see a youtube branding in bottom of the player when I hover the cursor on player.
When I got this I thought, I can't remove that from embedded video but when I came through a site yesterday, I found that their embedding doesn't have youtube branding. They removed that entirely.
If you want that site link here it is http://vitaminl.tv/video/1072?ref=rcm
Can anyone please help me how can I do that? I know we can remove youtube branding using jwplayer but I like to have my own code and design for my site. Help me to solve this.
PS - I am using wordpress.

The "modestbranding=1" parameter that the OP originally asked about (and several replies/comments mention) is now completely deprecated as of August 2023.
If you'd like to confirm that yourself and/or view the parameters that are available still, you can visit the official docs here:

As of April 2018 - Here are the results I'm getting
showinfo=0
removes the title from top left and share and watch later icons from top left
modestbranding=0
will make the YouTube logo disappear from the CONTROLS when the video is playing, but there will be a YouTube logo in the bottom right of the video and video poster (when not playing).
modestbranding=1
will make it NOT display the YouTube logo on the video poster, but will make it appear in the control bar instead.
If you turn off controls (controls=0
) then the permanent YouTube watermark will appear on the bottom right (same as turning off modestbranding
), regardless of what is set for modestbranding
.
Kind of an interesting mix of options that aren't well explained or documented, especially since turning modest branding "off" actually adds permanent YouTube branding on the video even when not playing (much strong branding in my opinion).

UPDATE:
Since this is quite an old post and i'm getting downvotes on it as the solution doesn't work anymore, the simple answer is (as of early 2017):
You can NOT completely remove the youtube branding.
You can play around with setting:
modestbranding=1
- to remove the youtube logo
and
showinfo=0
to remove the title and uploader info
Although with modestbranding
set to 1
you will still get a small youtube text label.
For more info check out Google developers' site:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters
Old answer from 2013:
As you can see they use:
showinfo=0
iv_load_policy=3
modestbranding=1
nologo=1
The last one seems interesting :)
iv_load_policy=3
means the use of HTML5 if I'm correct

If you dont ajust the height, the youtube logo does not show
<iframe width="728" height="410" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/PJ_fFrdSKlg?showinfo=0&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&nologo=1&autoplay=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="1">
</iframe>

The most you can hide is using controls=0
.
The argument "ps=docs"
can hide the youtube clickable logo when mouseover, but doesn't do anything if using control=0
.
showinfo=0&controls=0
showinfo=0&ps=docs
