Removing search box from YouTube videos

Phoebe Lee

For anyone who embeds or pulls YouTube videos into their Convio CMS site, you can remove the awful new search box at the top by adding &showsearch=0 to the end of the video URL. For example, in the embed code, it will look like this:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FPiAXPYkRPU&hl=en&fs=1&showsearch=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FPiAXPYkRPU&hl=en&fs=1&showsearch=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

If you have a multimedia content type that uses an external URL from YouTube, add the same parameter to the edn of the external URL when pasting into the content type properties section.
