How to embed youtube as an audio player

You can embed a YouTube video as an audio player on your website or platform using the following methods:

Method 1: Using the YouTube Audio Player Embed Code

1. Go to the YouTube video you want to embed as an audio player.
2. Click on the "Share" button and select "Embed".
3. In the embed code, look for the &autoplay=1 parameter and remove it. This will prevent the video from playing automatically.
4. Add the &showinfo=0 parameter to hide the video title and other information.
5. Add the &controls=0 parameter to hide the video controls.
6. The modified embed code should look like this:

   <iframe width="100%" height="20" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/[VIDEO_ID]?autoplay=0&showinfo=0&controls=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

   Replace [VIDEO_ID] with the actual ID of the YouTube video.

Method 2: Using the YouTube Iframe API

1. Create a new HTML element on your page where you want to embed the audio player.
2. Use the YouTube Iframe API to embed the video as an audio player. You can use the following code:

   <iframe id="yt-player" type="text/html" width="100%" height="20" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>
   <param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/[VIDEO_ID]"></param>
   <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param>
   <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param>
   </iframe>

   Replace [VIDEO_ID] with the actual ID of the YouTube video.

Method 3: Using a Third-Party Library

There are several third-party libraries available that can help you embed YouTube videos as audio players. Some popular options include:

• YouTube Audio Player: A JavaScript library that allows you to embed YouTube videos as audio players.
• Simple YouTube Audio Player: A simple JavaScript library that allows you to embed YouTube videos as audio players.
• YouTube Audio Player by EmbedPlus: A JavaScript library that allows you to embed YouTube videos as audio players with additional features.

These libraries often provide more customization options and features than the built-in YouTube embed code.

Tips and Variations

• You can customize the appearance of the audio player by adding CSS styles to the iframe or using a third-party library that provides customization options.
• You can also add additional features to the audio player, such as playback controls, volume controls, or a progress bar.
• If you want to embed multiple YouTube videos as audio players on the same page, you can use an array of video IDs and loop through them using JavaScript.
