The newest YouTube embed code will only play videos in HD if the embedded player is large. My embedded player is small. Is there a way to make it play in HD anyway?

    This might be a little out of date, seeing as the pictures from the website I found this from* don’t match up with what’s currently on YouTube, but heck, it’s worth a shot, right?

    In short, you have to use the old embed code with some minor changes:

    <object width="640" height="360">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VIDEO_ID?hl=en_US&rel=0&hd=1"></param>
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param>
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VIDEO_ID?hl=en_US&rel=0&hd=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="360" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed>
</object>

    Of course, you should swap out VIDEO_ID with your desired video’s ID. Hope this helps.
