Are you trying to remove the YouTube logo from the embedded videos on your site or landing pages? If yes, this article can help solve that problem completely. Read on to find out the ultimate solution for removing YouTube logo from your hosted videos.

The technique I am going to show you now doesn’t require any coding skills or use of a complex software.

The 100% Sureshot Way to Remove YouTube Logo from The Embedded Videos

This method requires a software and bit of customization which takes hardly 2 to 5 minutes. (Customization is as simple as adding some simple text to the box provided on the dashboard).

The software I use to remove the YouTube logo is called the MonkeyPlayr. You can have a look at the MonkeyPlayr software in action through this link.

I am only going to show how to do it using MonkeyPlayer. The features and the review itself can be found at our MonkeyPlayer review post if you want to know more about this amazing piece of software, before buying it.

Once you have access to MonkeyPlayer software (SaaS or cloud-based) just log in to the dashboard with the password that has been given to you, for beginning the process.

Grab the YouTube video URL that you want to embed and remove the YouTube logo.

Click on the Create Playr (It isn’t a TYPO, BTW) option, inside your dashboard.

Once you click on the button, you will be presented with a dashboard that looks like the one shown below.

I won’t go through all the options now as they are quite straightforward like entering your YouTube URL etc.

You have successfully removed/hidden the YouTube logo from your embedded video.
