If you want to embed a YouTube video on your website or inside an app, you’ll need the special embed URL format. It looks like this:

https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID

For example:

https://www.youtube.com/embed/NkcjMo80TFA?si=KgLLGy1OrneAknOU

Follow these steps to get it:

Step 1: Go to the YouTube Video

• Open the video you want to embed on YouTube.

• Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkcjMo80TFA

Step 2: Click the Share Button

• Below the video, click the Share button (arrow icon).

• A popup will appear with sharing options.

Step 3: Select Embed

• From the sharing options, choose Embed.

• You’ll see a box with an HTML <iframe> code. Example:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NkcjMo80TFA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Step 4: Copy the Embed URL

• Look inside the src attribute of the iframe code.

• In this example, it’s:

https://www.youtube.com/embed/NkcjMo80TFA

Step 5: (Optional) Add Parameters

You can customize the embed URL by adding parameters at the end, after a ?.
Some useful ones are:

• ?autoplay=1 → Video plays automatically.

• ?start=60 → Video starts at 1 minute (60 seconds).

• ?si=XXXX → YouTube sometimes adds a session identifier.

Example with parameters:

https://www.youtube.com/embed/NkcjMo80TFA?start=60&autoplay=1

✅ Now you can display a YouTube video on your profile.
