Can you hide the controls of a YouTube embed without enabling autoplay?

youtube

Solution

Set autoplay=0

<iframe width="100%" height="100%" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/qUJYqhKZrwA?autoplay=0&showinfo=0&controls=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

As seen here: Autoplay=0 Test

Problem

``` <iframe width="100%" height="100%" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/qUJYqhKZrwA?autoplay=1&showinfo=0&controls=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen> ``` If you remove ?autoplay=1 the video does not work. Looks like you cannot use the controls parameter without autoplay enabled. Not sure why this is not mentioned in the YouTube embed writeup. Hope I'm wrong. https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters#controls
