<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UF8uR6Z6KLc" frameborder="0" 
 allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

According to YouTube Help section:

Picture in Picture - Read Here Allows you to watch YouTube videos while using other apps on your mobile device.

Gyroscope & Accelerometer

This usually refers to when a user rotates or moves their device around, so I'm guessing this would be for when someone embeds a Virtual Reality or 360degree video?
