Hi, guys!


In this training I am going to show you how to add any Youtube video that you want to a post or a page on your website and I will also show you how to set it to start at a specific second and how to enable the autoplay

Why would you want to add a Youtube video?

Well, it is well known that showing something visual to your viewers will increase the conversion rate. It is much more easier for them to form an opinion by actually seeing the product how it looks rather than just trying to imagine it from a description.

Why would you want for your video to start at a specific moment?

There are many 5 minutes videos or 10 minutes videos or even 30 minutes videos on Youtube. You might find one with an interesting viewpoint about your product. However, the things get interesting only at the minute 3 or 10 or 15 or 20 and 95% of your visitors won't wait until that moment. Therefore, I am going to show you how to make your video to start directly at that point.

Why would you want for the video to autoplay?

Well, there is no better way to grab the attention of a viewer that lands on your website than a video that starts to play.

I am having great difficulty getting a Youtube on my post. The code shows up in 'Visual' as well as 'text' but no video still. I have watched another video tutorial on WA where you can add the time when you want to start the video before you copy the code? Not sure if that has anything to do with it but either way it doesn't work?? Any tips??
P.S. There is no embed button on Youtube now?

There is still the embed code for sharing a YouTube. Click on "share", then in the popup, on the far left, you will see < > ... and it says "embed" under the symbol. Click on that, and the embed code will show up. Copy that, and paste it into you text mode editor. It should then show up and play in your visual editor.

You can also adjust the size of the video so it looks balanced on your post page. The code looks like-

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/eBG5PQuW6oo" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

In the width and height codes, change the numbers (be sure you don't delete the parenthesis, stay inside them) to fit your screen better. Be sure that the new numbers are in the same proportions as the original ones.

Hope this helps!

Got it! Not where I thought it would be. Thanks!

But have also discovered an even quicker way of doing this through just uploading the video through the "Add Media" option on a post and instead you just select the add URL option.

Need to do a training like this myself but not sure where I start?

Hi, JBargy!

All those videos are considered "external links". Therefore, try to keep them at a minimum. I personally try to aim to have a maximum of 2-3 external links on a 1000 words post :).
