    <p>The YouTube API docs define the minimum size of an embedded player t to be 200px by 200px (<a href="https://developers.google.com/youtube/js_api_reference#Requirements" rel="nofollow noreferrer">link</a>).</p> <blockquote> <p>To allow room for critical player functionality, players must be at least 200px by 200px.</p> </blockquote> <p>My testing has lead me to the conclusion that this is true. If I try to play a video in a player which is smaller than the minimum size, I get an error message which says "Video player is too small." and the video will not play.</p> <p>However, smaller players are possible. <a href="http://make.switchcam.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">SwitchCam</a>, for example, uses them on pages <a href="http://switchcam.com/event/josh-rio-san-francisco-skate-park-4/?largeembed&amp;width=950&amp;height=620&amp;client=Testing&amp;v=1-1&amp;project_token=XdG8d42EvWjrYpVa&amp;autoplay=true&amp;seek-back=1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">like this one</a>.</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/byvFg.png" alt="SwitchCam small players"></p> <p>I've tried reducing the player size by setting it's height and width attributes, by using it's style attribute and by wrapping it in a containing element which has it's height and width set. None of these options appear to work.</p> <p>What else can I try to reduce the size of the player?</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>It appears that some videos will play in really small players but others will not. If you're going to test a potential solution, please use this video ID: <code>-rMTExNTx2s</code></p>

    2. COI think that trial just gets you the HTML5 player when you're on the YouTube site. I'm talking about using the YouTube player API, which is a different thing all together.

    3. COI'm not entirely sure that's true. I started creating unit tests for a jQuery plugin that I authored (tubeplayer: https://github.com/nirvanatikku/jQuery-TubePlayer-Plugin) and I noticed that the minimum player size error (onErrorNotEmbeddable) doesn't actually get thrown if I've enabled the trial. Basically, I'm able to set the video to < (200,200) without any problems if I've enabled trial mode. I want to better understand this behavior since it seems more like a bug than anything else (based on their documentation).
