The first step is to learn how to add a Youtube video to your channel.

This is a pretty simple process and you won't even need a Youtube account.


The first thing you have to do is to go to www.Youtube.com and choose the video that you want to share on your page.

Now, as you can see in the image above, at Step 1, you have to click on the Share button that is underneath the Subscribe button.

Once you clicked on the Share button, a new menu will appear. The step 2 is to click on the Embed feature and copy the code.


Now, the next thing you have to do is to go to the post or the page you want to add the video.



If you look closely at the right corner, you will see 2 tabs: Visual and Text. Click on the Text tab and paste the code like this:



That's it! Now you added a Youtube video to your page. In order to visualize it, click on the Visual tab and it should look like this:


Now, once you pasted the code and saw how it looks, DON'T forget to Update(1) or to Publish the post!!

After updating it, you can click on the link(2), and see how it looks like on your website.

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 :).

Have a wonderful day.
