YouTube now provides many of it's videos in different qualities, the traditional "Normal" quality and a newer "high" quality mode. It's possible to embed the higher quality videos, and remove the "YouTube search box" that's been added to all embedded videos, by tweaking the embed code that YouTube gives you for each video in the following way:
eg: Suppose you want to embed the example video used above into your class webpage/blog/VLE. Normally you'd go to YouTube, copy the embed code and paste it into the HTML code of your page, the embed code would look something like this: <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wLCwCh6o3k0&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wLCwCh6o3k0&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> What you want to do is add the following text to the end URL of the video which is listed twice in the embed code, I've highlighted it in green in this example. &showsearch=0&&ap=%2526fmt%3D18&showsearch=0&&ap=%2526fmt%3D18"></param><param
name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param
name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed
src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wLCwCh6o3k0&hl=en&fs=1&showsearch=0&&ap=%2526fmt%3D18 |
