Remove YouTube Logo When Embedding Videos

YouTube has always been a great alternative for those webmasters that does not have the resources to host their own videos on their own servers. There are many such video content producers that use YouTube as a video hosting platform. This helps them offset costs they would have otherwise incurred in terms of bandwidth usage and server resources. In return, YouTube places a small transparent watermark/logo in the lower right corner of the video screen, as well as one in the video player.

YouTube has now added a new option that allows people to embed YouTube videos on their websites without the YouTube logo. YouTube calls the new approach ‘modest branding’.

Here is a video with the YouTube logo.

When ‘modest branding’ is enabled, the embedded player carries no logo.

Note that a small “YouTube” text label will still show up in the upper-right corner of a paused video when you hover over the player.

To embed video without the logo, simply add the parameter modestbranding=1, as shown below.

IFRAME code

<iframe height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1234?modestbranding=1" frameborder="0" width="560" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>

Old OBJECT code

<object width="560" height="349"><param name="movie" value=http://www.youtube.com/v/1234?version=3&hl=en_US&modestbranding=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1234?version=3&hl=en_US&modestbranding=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="349" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

How to Schedule Changes to Your Facebook Page Cover Photo

Facebook’s current layout, the so called Timeline, features a prominent, large cover photo that some people are using in a lot of different creative ways. Timeline is also available for Facebook Pages that people can use to promote their website or business or event. Although you can change the cover photo as often as you like, it’s meant to be static – something which you design and leave it for at least a few weeks or months like a redesigned website. However, there are times when you may want to change the cover photo frequently and periodically to match event dates or some special promotion that you are running or plan to run. So, here is how you can do that.

How to Record CPU and Memory Usage Over Time in Windows?

Whenever the computer is lagging or some application is taking too long to respond, we usually fire up task manager and look under the Performance tab or under Processes to check on processor utilization or the amount of free memory available. The task manager is ideal for real-time analysis of CPU and memory utilization. It even displays a short history of CPU utilization in the form of a graph.
