Apparently, YouTube is getting rid of the option not to play other videos after the embedded video. For those of you who’ve been using it for controlled funnels, this may make some of your well-laid plans go sideways as people you intended to show a particular sales video to end up watching some other one, or another, or a video you posted years ago. So, while some control remains, there are other options for embedding videos.
Ignore unknown companies with dire fire sale warnings — the situation doesn’t have to be all that bad, and those solutions probably aren’t as good an idea if you have to switch away from YouTube as simply switching to embedding with Vimeo or Brightcove or using self-hosted videos that you place on servers designed for it.
