Join Morten Rand-Hendriksen for an in-depth discussion in this video Adding content from YouTube and similar sites, part of WordPress Essential Training.
- Images are all well and good, but if you ask me,…some of the coolest stuff on the web can be found…in audio and video format, and chances are,…when you find an awesome YouTube video or a SoundCloud file,…you want to share it on your blog.…Well, thanks to WordPress…and a technology called oEmbed,…this is easier than ever.…Let's look at YouTube first.…To add a YouTube video to your post,…all you have to do is find the video on YouTube,…copy the URL from the address bar,…and paste it into your content editor.…So here I have a new post that I've written,…that talks about how we did product photography,…and I also have a video from a lynda.com course…where we talk about product photography.…
So now I want to place this YouTube video inside my post.…Like I said, I'll go and grab the URL here, copy it,…and I go back to my post in my post editor,…and place my cursor where I want the video to appear,…and simply paste the URL in.…And watch what happens.…So I paste the URL in.…WordPress will go, hmm, this looks like YouTube,…
