Some youtube videos mandate that they must be watched youtube.com, which prevents you from embedding them on your site. Does anyone have a workaround for this? I'm pretty sure one exists, as if you submit these kind of videos as links on Reddit, then they can be streamed from there. That is unless if Reddit has a special agreement with youtube.

Anyway, thanks for reading.

Isn't this an option on the video itself? You must be the owner to authorize it though.

You can download the video and then upload it on your (dummy) channel...
