YouTube makes is easy to embed a video into your blog. The following tutorial will show you step-by-step how to do it.
Getting Started: Embedding videos
Select the YouTube video that you wish to embed.
Copy the code from the box that says
Choose Your Settings, Copy and Paste
You can choose from several options for your custom embedded YouTube video. ( I normally chose not to include related videos.)
The “privacy enhanced” mode has to do with whether or not YouTube sets a browser cookie for videos when the page has loaded. I always enable this feature, by putting a check mark in Enable privacy-enhanced mode. ( Learn more at ” Enabling privacy-enhanced mode for embedded videos.”
When embedding videos in your blog, often the smallest option for size is the best. I normally use the custom option and set my width to 460.
For this example I’ll use Blogger, but if you’re using WordPress you can easily paste in the video by creating a new post, and pasting the code in. Just make sure you are in HTML mode.
Paste Your Code Into Blogger
Go to your Blogger blog.
Sign in and start a new post.
In the ‘Edit HTML’ tab window, paste the embed code.
Write something in the box above or below the code you pasted to introduce the video.
Publish your post.
Your video will now be embedded.
