Here is my site link https://www.suffolkconferencecenter.com on the landing page we have slider in which we have displayed a youtube video, On the video paused more video thumbnail will appear at the bottom of the slider. Please kindly help us to remove that more video from the screen.

We have already tried rel=0 but its not working for us.

Thanks, HK

According to new changes made by YouTube on Sept 2018, suggested videos coudn't be disabled.

About rel parameter:

Note: This parameter is changing on or after September 25, 2018.

Prior to the change, this parameter(rel) indicates whether the player should show related videos when playback of the initial video ends. If the parameter's value is set to 1, which is the default value, then the player does show related videos. If the parameter's value is set to 0, then the player does not show related videos. After the change, you will not be able to disable related videos. Instead, if the rel parameter is set to 0, related videos will come from the same channel as the video that was just played.

    Read my answer specially this line "After the change, you will not be able to disable related videos. Instead, if the rel parameter is set to 0, related videos will come from the same channel as the video that was just played." – Niraj Kaushal Oct 24 '18 at 07:54
  • How you are embedding, using shortcode or frame from youtube? – Tristup Oct 24 '18 at 08:24
  • @Tristup Embedding using iframe – Hardik Kalathiya Oct 26 '18 at 07:30
  • Then you can easily remove that options when you are getting that embedding code from Youtube. There must be an option to check whether you want show the related videos at the end of the video.. – Tristup Oct 26 '18 at 08:32
  • `rel` is that parameter and if you set `rel=1` then it will show the related videos (from any channel) but if you set `rel=0` then it will only show the related videos from same channel (**Note: before Sept 2018, `rel=0` means no related video but now it has been changed by Youtube**). – Niraj Kaushal Oct 26 '18 at 08:52

    Google have lost the plot. They used to be so user focused. I can't see important content in videos because of all the buttons/overlays etc. – Nik K Mar 11 '19 at 11:38

This solution might not be the best since it hides the video title along with the youtube controls (may be undesirable) but some people might find it useful.

You can make the video player really tall and then crop the top and bottom to hide the more videos section, which is done with divs, so our embed html may look something like this: 

  <body>
    <div id="player-size" style="">
      <div id="cropping-div" style="">
        <div id="div-to-crop" style="">
          <div id="player-wrapper">
            <!-- 1. The <iframe> (and video 
            player) will replace this <div> 
            tag. -->
            <div id="player"></div>
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
    <script async src="/youtube-player.js"></script>
  </body>

  </html>

original answer: here

Perhaps the code may be modified to only hide the bottom portion of the player only but that will still hide the player controls as well. It is worth mentioning that custom player controls can be made using the player.seek() methods from the iFrame API YouTube has.

I have also struggled with this many times. The solution I found is to use an ad-blocker add-on to hide that element from displaying at all. By adding this to your own filter

www.youtube.com##.ytp-scroll-min.ytp-pause-overlay

But be sure not disable the ads to support the video creator
