How to disable click event on video element in youtube

I am currently working on a chrome extention for youtube and I want to disable the option for the user to pause/play the video by clicking on it.
I saw some posts that say "video.off('click');" but it dosent work.
I tried this one also :
video.addEventListener('click', function(event){
console.log("preventing?")
event.preventDefault();
});
but still it doesn't do nothing.
I would love some help if possible - Thank you all in advance!
Edit:
I saw the comments and I want to sharpen my question. I need a solution to disabling just the click event to stop the play/pause from there.
I also need the answer to be written in a javascript file because I want to control whether or not the user can click on the video.
I've also looked in: Javascript code for disabling mouse click for youtube videos but I haven't managed to find a corrent solution to my spesific question. I saw one solution that recommend to add a transparent overlay on top of the video element but I have no idea how to do so and how to make it resize as the video player itself resizes

Attach a click listener on window + use the capture phase by specifying true for the third parameter of addEventListener + use stopPropagation, so that your listener will be the first target in the event propagation chain i.e. it'll run before the site's handlers because sites usually don't use the capture phase.
window.addEventListener('click', event => {
if (event.target.matches('video')) {
event.stopPropagation();
}
}, true);
Note that if some rare site uses the exact same trick, you can still override it by declaring your content script with "run_at": "document_start".

I noticed that some websites showing youtube videos put a transparent overlay on top of the player so that the users cannot click on the "Open in YouTube" icon. This might help you too, even if it might still be able to give focus to the controls using the keyboard.

Iframe video controls not clickable?

i am using that example : https://codepen.io/cyborgspaceviking/pen/BdWagp#code-area
but beside using gif files i am using videos and loading them into iframe.
But video controls not clickable.
This is my replacing html with img tag:
<div class="resp-container">
<iframe class="resp-iframe video" id="gif_tv_video" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="1"
allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" src=""></iframe>
</div>
This is my codepen version link: https://codepen.io/affan-sheikh/pen/MWKggOe

from the preview you've posted, it looks like the img is above the iframe.
Try adding pointer-events:none; to every element above to make it not-clickable.
Check here for more details

It seems overlays are overlapping, try the following:
.gif-tv .viewport .pixels,
.gif-tv .viewport .meta-left,
.gif-tv .viewport .meta-right {
pointer-events: none;
}

Play first youtube embedded video from a list of link using jQuery

I am calling a loop to generate a list of link of youtube embedded video. When I click on any of the links, the related video is opened in iFrame. But the problem is, when I first load the page, it does not shows any video in an iFrame nor even the iFrame. I need to click on a link to load a video. I want to load the first video of the list automatically when I load the page.
iFrame of the video:
<h4 id="videoTitle"></h4>
<div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9">
<iframe id="frame" name="frame" width="560" height="315" src="about:blank" frameborder="0"
allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture"
allowfullscreen>
</iframe>
</div>
This is the loop to generate list of videos, I am using laravel, so this is how the code looks like:
#foreach($topic->videos as $video)
<li>
Play Video
</li>
#endforeach
Here is my jQuery code:
<script>
$('.ytLink').on('click', function (e) {
$('#frame')[0].src = $(this).attr('href') + '?autoplay=1';
e.preventDefault();
$('#videoTitle').text($(this).text());
});
</script>
Can anyone help me how to load the first video automatically?

I triggered a click on your first link when the document is loaded.
I use the $(document).ready() function to get your code execute when the document is loaded and ready to use.
I pasted your code inside this function. After I find your first link with $('.ytLink').eq(0) then I use the .trigger('click') on this element. So this trigger will run when the document is loaded.
More info about the .eq() function.
And more info about the .ready() function.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.ytLink').on('click', function (e) {
$('#frame')[0].src = $(this).attr('href') + '?autoplay=1';
e.preventDefault();
$('#videoTitle').text($(this).text());
});
$('.ytLink').eq(0).trigger('click');
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<h4 id="videoTitle"></h4>
<div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9">
<iframe id="frame" name="frame" width="560" height="315" src="about:blank" frameborder="0"
allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture"
allowfullscreen>
</iframe>
</div>
<li>
Play Video
</li>
<li>
Play Video
</li>
<li>
Play Video
</li>

if/ else statement to find if Iframe is empty

I have an embedded youtube video on my template where the source is being dynamically pulled in, and my client wants the ability to have either an image or the youtube video in that section at their discretion.
What I'm trying to do is have code that will find if the iframes src is empty, and if it is display an image instead. I feel like I'm fairly close but I need help getting it to work.
HTML
<div class="col-sm-8 product-video-section">
<iframe id="ytplayer" width="560" height="315" src="youtubelink" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen wmode="Opaque"></iframe>
<img class="videoImg" style="display: none;" src="imgLink" />
</div>
JS
if ($('.product-video-section iframe').contents().find("body").length == 0) {
//alert("This is the IF");
}
else {
//alert("this is the ELSE");
$('.product-video-section iframe#ytplayer').remove();
$('.product-video-section .videoImg').css('display', 'block');
}
Can someone help point out where I've gone wrong?

You can test the iframe source attribute using attr
if (!$('iframe#empty').attr('src'))
{
alert('empty');
}
if (!$('iframe#notempty').attr('src'))
{
alert('empty too');
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<iframe id="empty" src="">
</iframe>
<iframe id="notempty" src="www.stackoverflow.com">
</iframe>
Note if there are more than one element that matches your selection you'll need to iterate each one

How to add youtube video without embedded

Im trying to add youtube video in my webpage using below mentioned code, is
there anyone who can help me with that.? have a look on my code below.
<div style="width:400px; height:200px;">
<embed src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-AV9KMLTFc" wmode="transparent"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%" height="100%"
allowfullscreen="true" title="Adobe Flash Player">
</div>

Use the code that Youtube generates for you after clicking share > embed. It looks like this:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Q-AV9KMLTFc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Set width and height to whatever values you like.

You could do it with <iframe> like this:
<iframe width="500" height="500"
src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vEROU2XtPR8">
</iframe>
With Autoplay:
<iframe width="500" height="500"
src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vEROU2XtPR8?autoplay=1">
</iframe>
Note: After "embed/" in src, be sure to write the correct youtube video id which can be found in the URL link after "=" symbol.
Ex: In this link, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEROU2XtPR8
Youtube video id="vEROU2XtPR8".
Be sure to give the width and height properties of the video size that should be displayed on the screen.
