Embed youtube video with dark player?

Question

When watching a video on youtube you get a dark player

But when you embed you get the standard light player

So, How can I change the embedded video to use the dark controls?

I know that I can view the source and copy the object for the video... but there has to be a more "official" way of doing this.

Answer 1

You can do it by modifying the embed code.

Simply add a "theme" parameter to the iframe source with a value of "dark".
