modestbranding not working for YouTube embed

Question

I'm trying to hide the YouTube logo that appears in the bottom right had corner of an embed. For some reason modestbranding=1 is not working:

<iframe class="gtms-intro" style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;" width="1280" height="720" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ywFGJecodxQ?rel=0&amp;controls=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;autoplay=1&amp;loop=1&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;playlist=ywFGJecodxQ" frameborder="0"></iframe>

Answer 1

Combination of controls=0 and modestbranding=1 also gives a big YouTube logo at the right bottom corner. showinfo does nothing anymore since September 2018.

Answer 2

If you have showinfo=0 at the same time as modestbranding=1 the YouTube logo will show even more prominent.

My conclusion is that there is no way to remove all links to youtube so you have to pick one.

These images show the visual when playing.

showinfo=0&modestbranding=0

showinfo=0&modestbranding=1

showinfo=1&modestbranding=1

Answer 3

Problem is with how you added the parameters. Inside the link you are supposed to add parameters like so:

"http://www.myLink.com?first_param=1&second_param=0&third_param=3"

No amp; in between. As a result, your iFrame is supposed to look like this:

<iframe class="gtms-intro" style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;" width="1280" height="720" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ywFGJecodxQ?rel=0&controls=0&showinfo=0&autoplay=1&loop=1&modestbranding=1&playlist=ywFGJecodxQ" frameborder="0"></iframe>

Hope it helped.
