 * Hi!
 * Is it possible to adjust the youtube-videos displayed with Lyte to the Youtube-
   videos displayed with the native Video-Shortcode by WordPress ( [https://codex.wordpress.org/Video_Shortcode](https://codex.wordpress.org/Video_Shortcode))?
   I don’t necessarily mean the look, but more the elements that are shown and that
   are hidden. If I use the Video-Shortcode the user stays on my page, because there
   are no links to youtube in that player ( [https://i.imgur.com/TMK4I5Y.png](https://i.imgur.com/TMK4I5Y.png)).
   If I use Lyte, there are plenty of ways the user could get to youtube. So when
   using Lyte,…
 * – I would like to hide the Youtube-Logo in the regular window and in fullscreen.
   –
   Then I would like to hide the title, again in both regular and full screen. –
   And I would like to hide share-arrow-icon. – And if possible, I would like to
   set a custom preview image like I can do with the WordPress-Video-Shortcode. 
   Like this: [video src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Y6AO4woa0Q" poster="https://

 * Is all that possible with your plugin and my limited developing skills?;) I looked
   the whole support forum through, but just can’t get it done myself.
 * Thanks!

 * LYTE does not offer those features out of the box I’m afraid, but most of those(
   but not all) _can_ be done with some small changes to the code and/ or hooking
   into AO’s API. but you’ll probalby need a bit more then limited developing skills
   I’m afraid 🙂

 * Could you give me a hint in which direction I should aim?

 * most of those can be done using parameters that are now hardcoded in lyte(-min).
   js, cfr. [https://github.com/futtta/wp-youtube-lyte/blob/master/lyte/lyte.js#L91](https://github.com/futtta/wp-youtube-lyte/blob/master/lyte/lyte.js#L91)
   🙂
 * first do it in lyte.min and if OK apply the same to lyte-min.js.

 * Okay, that seems too complex for me :D…but thank you anyway! Maybe someday in
   the future someone has the same problem and can figure it out.
