How to turn off the annoying suggested videos at the end of YouTube videos

Normally, when you embed a video from YouTube on your blog or website, a number of annoying suggested videos appear at the end of the video. Often, they are of something rather embarassing that you don't want to be associated with.

So, I am going to show you how to turn them off in preparing to get the embed code.

1. Find the video that you want to embed.

2. Click the Share button.

3. Click on the Embed button. This will reveal additional options.

4. By default, the option 'Show suggested videos when the video finishes' is checked. Uncheck it.

5. Copy the embed code.
6. Paste it into the HTML field of your blog/website.

Note: You can also change the default size of your player there. Here is a link to some information on customizing your embedded YouTube video even further. 


Breakdown of points

-->
Project/Assignment point breakdown- if this stuff isn’t on your blog, you will receive 0 points for the it- check your blogs to make sure it is all there. Better to turn it in late than to receive a 0.

Extra Credit opportunities:
You can make an additional video mashup. 
You can made an additional song. 
You can made an additional 3D model. 
You can attend an opening and write up a little review of it. Include photos.

Applying to an exhibition digitally (you must provide proof that you have done so - screen grab of confirmation letter, copy me on the application email, etc.). Please also provide links to the exhibition call on your blog as well.

Completed mashup- turned is as an .STL file- an embedded 3D model should be on your blog if you used Tinkercad to complete your model. Otherwise, there should be a screenshot of your completed model on your blog.

Artist Website

  • A home page or welcome page (don't write 'Welcome') - maybe put a very strong image there
  • A contact page that includes an embedded Google Map
  • At least one image gallery with no less than 20 images -images must be well edited
  • You must include your video mashup on an appropriate page. You must make sure that no previews for other videos shows up. I will show you how to do this.
  • I encourage you to put up your song. How many people make songs? It may set you apart.
  • Your artist resume
  • A page for your Artist Statement
  • A page for your Bio (Don't say 'I was born in ....)
  • A page for your Mashup and song
  • Links to your blog, Flickr account, DeviantArt page, professional FaceBook page (nor your personal one), anything else that may impress a potential employer or gallery, etc.
  • Must register a domain name that link to your website hosted on Wix.com or Sites.Google
  • Must have clean navigation
  • Must put your art as priority - clean, easy navigatable gallery
  • Must work on mobile phones (I will test them using an iPhone) - in practice it means a website that doesn't use Flash 
  • Design must be clean. Colors must work together
  • Images must be an appropriate size
  • Images must not show any digital artifacts such as 'jaggies'  
  • Double, triple check your grammar and spelling. Once it's on the web, it's always on the web.
