Re: What is your favorite You Tube video?

Oh, no. (And it's not a "red border conspiracy" either, in case you were going to ask that next.)

You merely select the "customize" option which is available as an "embed" choice for every YouTube video on their website.
I'll use one of my videos as an example (hey, why waste an opportunity to plug a good JFK item, right?)

----
YouTube - JFK PRESS CONFERENCE (AS "PRESIDENT-ELECT")(NOVEMBER 10, 1960)(PART 1)
At the video page above, mouse over the little round "gear"-like thingamajig icon to the right of where the embeddable URL is located. (They previously had the actual word "Customize" written there as a link, but YouTube can't resist changing things around a minimum of 654 times per month, so they changed that; I'm sure it'll change to a red-hot flaming icon of Cesar Romero or something like that next week.*)
Anyway, when you pull down that Customize menu, you can choose all kinds of different colors to wrap around your embedded videos. I like
mixing and matching the border colors myself....but you might like just the green...or the red.

YouTube, LLC there, but I really don't mean any harm by it. YouTube.com has quickly become one of my favorite Internet locations.
