YouTube has announced this weekend that they have begun testing a new way of embedding code that would support both HTML5 and Flash.
By using "iframes," the code will either use the Flash plugin or switch to HTML5, depending on what device or browser you are currently using.
If the video has ad overlays, or other features not yet supported by HTML5, it will force Flash, but that is the only time.
Embedded videos should now work on Android and iOS devices, which do not have Flash support yet.
YouTube Mobile already has HTML5 built-in, but now the embedded videos will work on other sites, such as when browsing Afterdawn from your smartphone or tablet.
