Remove related Videos Overlay on Pause of Youtube videos

Opened this issue · 1 comments

Hello, I've been trying to remove the Youtube related video overlay when video is paused. it is so annoying if someone pause the video to take some notes and then might accidentally click some other video from overlay. It really affects the user experience. Is there any workaround to remove this overlay?
I did some research and found out that it can be done by adding &rel=0 at the end of video URL
ublock-ytPNG
Or if one's using Ublock than we can do it by updating URL like this. But none of this worked.

Is there any way we can achieve this via using the react-youtube library?

I'm having the same problem, and fixed it by adding this property. Maybe, it will also work for you:

  // :: ... the rest of your component
  const opts: YouTubeProps['opts'] = {
    height: '480',
    width: '854',
    playerVars: {
      // ... rest of the properties
      rel: 0, // :: -> Add this property
    },
  };
  // :: ... the rest of your component
