Well, this is a really good question. The simplest thing is probably not
to show it.

This is certainly an option. Do you want me to provide the image?

I don't think this has anything to do with the markup. It sounds like a
problem with your flash plugin. I have checked in a few different
combinations (Firefox 25.0 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, Firefox 26.0 on Fedora 18,
Firefox 27 on MacOS X 10.9. Also on Chrome and Opera for good measure: no
issues). It even plays on the stock browser in my Jolla phone!

Unfortunately, I cannot find any straightforward way of forcing the
youtube player to use html video instead of the flash player. There is the
IFrame API, but I don't think that qualifies as straightforward :(
