The Youtube's terms says:

The Service includes all aspects of YouTube, including but not limited to all products, software and services offered via the YouTube website, such as the YouTube channels, the YouTube "Embeddable Player," the YouTube "Uploader" and other applications.
You agree not to alter or modify any part of the Service.

So, my questions is if is ok to change the src to data-src attribute of the Youtube's iframe code?

Thank you, Ignacio

I guess it is ok as we are not affecting "Embeddable Player", we just load it with some delay. Formally <iframe> without src attribute is not Youtube's code, and it is transformed into actual code later (when visitor scrolls to it). And note that after it is transformed into actual code, Lazy Load XT doesn't change it at all.

PS. It's just my opinion.
