youtube embed helper

💡 Inspiration

Embedding YouTube videos manually can be annoying — especially when tweaking features like autoplay, mute, or start time. We wanted a simple utility that turns any YouTube URL into a ready-to-use embed code, with full customization — no guesswork, no iframe headaches.

⚙️ What It Does

• Accepts any YouTube video URL
• Instantly generates a customized embed iframe

• Lets users toggle embed options like:

  • ✅ Autoplay
  • 🔇 Mute
  • ⏱️ Start Time
  • 🔁 Loop
  • 🎮 Show/Hide Controls
  • 📏 Adjustable size (width & height)

• One-click copy to clipboard for easy pasting into websites or blogs
