WEBFI-WordPress-How to Easily Embed Videos in WordPress Blog Posts
Are you looking to add videos to your site on WordPress? Videos help draw attention to your site and are a great way to boost user engagement on posts and pages when placed there. These videos can take up a large amount of space if you upload them directly which is why we recommend embedding them. In this video, we will show you how to easily embed videos in WordPress.
WordPress comes with an auto-embed feature to make embedding videos on your site a simple process. For YouTube, you would start by going to the video you are wanting to embed and copying the URL in the address bar. Log in and edit the post that you would like the video embedded on and paste the URL there.
Your WordPress site should automatically change the link into a video in your editor and you should be able to move it as you would be able to move text. WordPress allows you to embed more than just videos from YouTube such as embedding tweets from twitter.
For embedding tweets from twitter you would want to go to where the tweet is located and if it is on a page you would want to click the drop-down arrow for the specific tweet and copy the link to the tweet. Go back to the post or page you are editing and paste the link there. Just as with the Youtube link it should automatically transform the link into an embed in your editor.
Instagram works using the same method where you visit the post directly and copy the URL on the page. When you paste it into your WordPress post editor and your site will attempt to transform it into an embed similar to YouTube and Twitter.

You are such a lifesaver. Where were you when I needed you? 🙂 Thank you ever so much for your huge help and I could not thank you enough and how easy this is with your presentation. I do really, really appreciate you. God bless you, my dear.
Question. So I can just go find a video on YouTube say for a recipe I like and put it on my website, if I want a visual demonstration of the recipe and I don’t want to make it? It’s not a copywriter issue? Do I need permission? Why can’t this be done with photos? It does not seem so very different.
Great video 👍
Hi, I've tried uploading videos on my website but after publishing the post, I deleted the video on my media. I checked just now that the video plays well but my question is will my viewers have difficulty watching the video eventually? Since its already deleted on my media.
Can I make my own videos from home and upload to my computer and put them on WordPress? I would like to create a Video page on my website using WordPress, so I can upload the videos I made. Can this be done? I have a small digital Kodak video camera that I would use to make them. Can I do this? Also I don't want to put them on YouTube first.
