youtube-hd-embedAs posted recently, Youtube added watch in HD toggle video option officially but unfortunately it is possible to embed video of resolution upto 640×505 but you cannot embed then for HD playback then how to do it? Only three steps to go to accomplish it yourself easily.

You will need to to make small changes in video embed code.

  1. Paste the following code wherever you want to embed video.
  2. <object width=”630″ height=”380″>
    <param value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/YOURVIDEOCODEHERE&ap=%2526fmt%3D22″ name=”movie” /><param value=”window” name=”wmode” />
    <param value=”true” name=”allowFullScreen” /><embed width=”630″ height=”380″ wmode=”window” allowfullscreen=”true” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/YOURVIDEOCODEHERE&ap=%2526fmt%3D22″></embed></object>

  3. Grab the video URL you want to embed and copy the video ID which is in between /v/ and symbol &
  4. Replace the text YOURVIDEOCODEHERE withthe Video ID you copied and you are done.

    YouTube now provides a ‘play in hd’ option. This will create an embedded code which plays your video in HD. Basically it’s what linuxcrypt says: It puts &hd=1 after your link.
