[YouTube-API] Re: Embed youtube on mobile page (So it behaves like m.youtube.com)

Hello Martin,

I don't think that's possible with the embedded player. If Flash is a
available, my understanding is that it will always try to play the
video inline.

As a workaround, instead of using actual embeds on your mobile web
page, you could just link to the video's watch page, e.g.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5ebSn9HgJ4

I *believe* that both iOS and Android browsers will intercept attempts
to navigate to that link and instead launch the native YouTube player
app, but I haven't actually tested that. It can't hurt to try, though.

Cheers,
