Why Can't I Hide the Title, Logo and Related Videos?

Documentation for Joomla 5

Previously, it was possible to hide many YouTube settings from your videos.

Unfortunately, YouTube has been making changes that make it impossible to remove YouTube branding.

Your YouTube videos must now display the title:

02 title displayed before playback

Your embeds must now display the YouTube logo on the control bar:

youtube logo displayed

Finally, you must also display the related videos once the video viewer stops the playback:

related videos displayed by default

As of version 3.3.12, you won't be able to hide the related videos. Instead, you will be able to specify their source:

  • All Channels. With this option, the OSYouTube plugin will be looking for the related videos in all of your YouTube channels.
  • Same Channel. With this option, the OSYouTube plugin will be looking for the related videos only in the YouTube channel to which the displayed video belongs.
