YouTube Options

Option Name Default Setting Shortcode Parameters Description
Related Videos rel, norel YouTube typically displays thumbnails of videos it feels are related to what was just shown at the end of a video. This option can modify this behavior.
Autoplay autoplay, noautoplay Automatically begin playback of a video as soon as the page it's on is loaded.
Modest Branding modestbranding, nomodestbranding Prevent the YouTube logo from displaying in the control toolbar. A small YouTube text label will appear in the info bar if a user hovers their mouse over a paused video.
Window Mode wmode_none, wmode_transparent, wmode_opaque Window Mode is traditionally a flash thing that affects whether or not the background of your movie is transparent, and also can affect whether or not hardware acceleration is used during playback. Oddly, with YouTube's iframe embeds (such as those used in this plugin), it can also affect z-index. Setting the wmode to "transparent" should fix this behavior, but your mileage may vary.
Theme dark_theme, light_theme Typically the default dark theme is used, but YouTube does offer a light variant that might be a better fit for your site.

YouTube Shortcode Syntax & Options

Simply include the URL or video id inside a [responsive_youtube] shortcode, like this: [responsive_youtube soagYwfgfxc],
or this: [responsive_youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soagYwfgfxc]. In the table above, you'll notice the options in the "Shortcode Parameters" column. These can be added to the shortcode in order to override one of the defaults or set an option on a one-off basis. For example, should you choose to use the light theme instead of the default dark theme on your about page which has a custom template the light theme would look good with, you could use the following shortcode [responsive_tube soagYwfgfxc light_theme]. Also, you can use more than one parameter at a time, so [responsive_tube soagYwfgfxc light_theme autoplay] is also valid.

Vimeo Options

[responsive_vimeo 29506088], or this: [responsive_vimeo https://vimeo.com/29506088]. In the table above, you'll notice the options in the "Shortcode Parameters" column. These can be added to the shortcode in order to override one of the defaults or set an option on a one-off basis. For example, should you choose to include the title of a video after disabling it her in the defaults, you could use the following shortcode [responsive_vimeo 29506088 title].
