How To Embed High Resolution YouTube Videos

We all know about the YouTube feature that allows you to watch videos in high resolution (only that are available). But for some reason, it does not provide any code or option to embed these high resolution videos or other sites or blogs. Overall, the procedure is simple. All you have to do is append a parameter to the existing URL in the code, and you will be able to embed high quality YouTube videos.
