YouTube allows embedded players to be [customized by setting parameters](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters) in the iframe URL, however, custom parameters are stripped when passed through the oEmbed endpoint, making it difficult to customize the players. _YouTube Embed Parameters_ makes sure custom parameters can be added by filtering the oEmbed HTMl.

## Usage

Default parameters can be set on the _Settings → Media_ screen in the admin panel.

It's possible to override the defaults for individual players by adding parameters to the original URL. For example, when inserting a YouTube video URL into the editor, add `&rel=0` to the end of the URL to disable related videos for that particular player.
