Restrict embedding

These features are only available to partners who use YouTube Studio Content Manager.

By default, Content Manager users can add YouTube videos to their websites and apps by embedding them. You can control where your videos get embedded by specifying which websites and apps to block or allow. These rules can be applied to videos that you own (licensed content) and videos that you claim (user-uploaded content).

Note: Embedding restrictions cannot be applied to iOS apps.
