sandbox iframe (increases security) explicitly allow iframe to use certain browser features (maybe increases compatibility?) raw HTML This is the HTML that gets encoded inside the iframe
You should not embed this HTML code directly! If you do, clicking the preview will send users to YouTube instead of starting the video player embedded on your site. Embed HTML code

Preview

Explanation:

The embedded do not use any JavaScript or YouTube iframes before playing the video, instead they create an iframe with the video thumbnail (loaded from YouTube). Only after clicking on the preview, YouTube's embed iframe is loaded. The privacy of users not clicking on the video respected. Except for the thumbnail image, no external resources are loaded for the embedded preview. Youtube's thumbnails are generally served without any tracking cookies, also the video is loaded without cookies over youtube-nocookie.com. Unlike Youtube's default embed-code, embeds created using this tool do not load code from Google's ad platform doubleclick.com
