What considerations need to be taken into account regarding copyrights when embedding YouTube videos on a webpage?

  • Any video can be embedded as YouTube handles copyright issues. 
  • Only videos with a Creative Commons license can be embedded. 
  • Videos should be embedded only if the owner has granted permission, or it’s stated in the video's licensing terms. 
  • Videos with many views can be embedded freely. 
When embedding YouTube videos, it's vital to ensure you have the right to use the content. Just because a video is on YouTube doesn't mean it can be freely embedded anywhere. The best approach is to use videos where the owner has granted permission, either directly or through the video’s licensing terms. While YouTube might handle some copyright issues (like takedowns), the responsibility of adhering to copyright laws when embedding videos rests with the website owner or developer.
