I have checked this and there is no option or setting when you are in your
YouTube channel to either turn the shortcuts of or remap the shortcuts.

The only way to turn them of is by adding a disablekb parameter to the
video URI. (see:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters#disablekb )

But there is a downside to this method. It also disables the use of
non-character keys like the arrowkeys and the spacebar. You can still use
the TAB key and spacebar/Enter to navigate and activate all the user
interface components, so it is still keyboard accessible. But it does take
away some non-character shortcuts as well.

So, as far as I can see, the only way to let an embedded Youtube video pass
this succes criterium is by adding the disablekb parameter and set it to 1.

If anyone else has another solution on how to make an embedded YouTube
video pass this succes criterium I am very interested to hear.
