In this increasingly digital world, quality content and excellent presentation is the key to dominate your competitors. Adding videos to your web page is such a technique by which you can increase the web traffic on your page as well as increase the page viewing time.
So, in this WordPress how-to guide, we will explain how you can embed Youtube videos on Wordpress to upgrade the look and feel of your blog or website.
How to embed Youtube videos in Wordpress?
Adding Youtube videos in Wordpress is quite easy. You do not need to download the video and then upload it on your blog or website. Simple copying of URL will do the trick.
Method 1
Follow the steps given below to embed Youtube videos in your Wordpress blog or website.
Step 1: Open the video that you want to embed.
Step 2: Copy the video’s URL and paste it on your blog.
The video is now embedded, as you can notice from the screenshot.
There are a few points that you should note:
- You will have to ensure that the video is not hyperlinked.
- You must use the full link of the video; a short link will not do the job.
- Ensure that you paste the URL in a new line.
That’s it! You can now view the video after you have published the post.
