Can anyone suggest how I embed a youtube channel into a webpage - I am getting conflicting information from various sites, ideally using the custom player if possible? thanks

YouTube supports a fairly easy to use iframe and url interface to embed videos, playlists and all user uploads to your channel: https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters

For example this HTML will embed a player loaded with a playlist of all the videos uploaded to your channel. Replace YOURCHANNELNAME with the actual name of your channel:

<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/?listType=user_uploads&list=YOURCHANNELNAME" width="480" height="400"></iframe>

    At least this one produces an output. For some reason the javascript examples listed on this page and elsewhere don't output anything on my page.

In order to embed your channel, all you need to do is copy then paste the following code in another web-page.

<script src="http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://www.google.com/ig/modules/youtube.xml&up_channel=YourChannelName&synd=open&w=320&h=390&title=&border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&output=js"></script>

Make sure to replace the YourChannelName with your actual channel name.

For example: if your channel name were CaliChick94066 your channel embed code would be: 

<script src="http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://www.google.com/ig/modules/youtube.xml&up_channel=CaliChick94066&synd=open&w=320&h=390&title=&border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&output=js"></script>

Please look at the following links:

YouTube on your site

Embed YouTube Channel

You just have to name the URL to your channel name. Also you can play with the height and the border color and size. Hope it helps

  • thanks for that - I probably should have stated I am trying to get this displayed without the Google Gadgets bar at the bottom - I guess I may have to use the API to create a more customised player.

Seems like the accepted answer does not work anymore. I found the correct method from another post: https://stackoverflow.com/a/46811403/6368026

Now you should use:

http://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=USERID And the USERID is your youtube user id with 'UU' appended.

For example, if your user id is TlQ5niAIDsLdEHpQKQsupg then you should put UUTlQ5niAIDsLdEHpQKQsupg. If you only have the channel id (which you can find in your channel URL) then just replace the first two characters (UC) with UU.

So in the end you would have an URL like this:

http://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=UUTlQ5niAIDsLdEHpQKQsupg

I quickly did this for anyone else coming onto this page:

<object width="425" height="344">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/u1zgFlCw8Aw?fs=1"</param>
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param>
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param>
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/u1zgFlCw8Aw?fs=1"
  type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
  allowfullscreen="true"
  allowscriptaccess="always"
  width="425" height="344">
</embed>
</object>

See the jsFiddle.

    The question is about embedding the channel, not a single video.
