How To Embed YouTube In An Iframe

Use the privacy-friendly youtube.com/embed/ player URL instead of the watch page.

Embed Code

<iframe width="560" height="315"
  src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID"
  title="YouTube video player"
  frameborder="0"
  allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share"
  allowfullscreen></iframe>

Why The Main Site Won't Frame

The main watch page (youtube.com/watch) sends X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN and cannot be framed. The dedicated /embed/ endpoint is built for embedding. Use youtube-nocookie.com for reduced tracking.
