I've discovered that you can disable annotations on embedded YouTube videos by adding the parameter &iv_load_policy=3
to the url in the embed code.
Example:
<object width="425" height="344">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PMnEvKCtHBw&hl=en&fs=1&iv_load_policy=3"></param>
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param>
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PMnEvKCtHBw&hl=en&fs=1&iv_load_policy=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed>
</object>
Is there any way to force this parameter on all YouTube embed urls on a webpage using javascript/jQuery?
(Sort of like this example where you force wmode transparent on all flash objects)
