When it comes to watching videos, there is no better platform than YouTube to upload and share videos. But it gets quite overwhelming for small businesses to avoid those related videos that show. It is because sometimes those related videos might be of your competitor or any other content that you do not want to endorse. 

So if you are looking for a way on how to turn off related YouTube videos in WordPress, then take a pause. You are in the right place. Here in this article, we will talk about how you can do that. Let’s get started. 

There are two ways to turn off related YouTube videos in WordPress. 

Turning Off Related YouTube Videos Manually

You can turn off the related YouTube videos manually in WordPress when you embed it. All you need is to add ?rel=0 at the end of the video like this:  

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EY4fqq7DLZU?rel=0
