Can I suppress Youtube suggested videos?

#1 Post by sreynolds » Tue Apr 11, 2023 1:11 pm

I'm having trouble suppressing Youtube suggestions at the end of a video. My video clips aren't great to begin with, and as the author I want to be in control of what I am presenting to my audience. My videos post OK, I just don't want anything else at the end.

example - stalked ciliate

I can't find a way to stop it.

I think you can't, YT suggests different videos for each user. So it has nothing to do with your video, but YT algorithm...

Thanks for the reply. Maybe I'll try Vimeo.

Can someone show me the format for using the [vimeo][/vimeo] syntax?

The URL for the video is : https://vimeo.com/816692942
and the embed code is : <iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/816692942?h=865c2e15d8" width="640" height="564" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowfullscreen></iframe>

but I can't figure out how to make this work with the [vimeo] post format.

Tried [vimeo=564,640]816692942[/vimeo] which I thought ought to work - but it doesn't. Syntax there is [vimeo=height,width]videoID[/vimeo]

I was trying to inline a video into a post but couldn't get it working. Looked at the source and noticed that the embed code is severely outdated since it tries to embed using Shockwave Flash.
It looks like Vimeo plug in does not work. I'll stick with embedded Youtube rather than the alternative of external call to Vimeo. Vimeo is no better that YT when it comes to suggestions. Maybe worse.

I wouldn't sweat the suggested videos..... everyone at this point understands that they're tailored for the specific viewer's habits.
