[YouTube-API] Re: Bug report: Strangest embedding problem, in Google Chrome

Hello,

The default behavior for embeds with that aspect ratio is to auto-
hide the control bar. That is to say, when your mouse is active in the
player area, the control bar is show, and when your mouse is inactive,
the control bar hides. You can see that for yourself on your sample
page, and you can override the default behavior by explicitly
providing a value for the "autohide" URL query parameter when
specifying the src attribute for the <iframe>:
