$data = file_get_contents("https://www.youtube.com/oembed?format=json&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7s-6V_0nwA");
$json = json_decode($data);
var_dump($json);

###Output

  public 'width' => int 480
  public 'version' => string '1.0' (length=3)
  public 'thumbnail_width' => int 480
  public 'title' => string 'how to reminder in window as display message' (length=44)
