What is it?

You can use YouTube as an excellent source of videos that can also be displayed on your website! When you successfully upload a video to YouTube you are giving a line of code to reference on your own website.

The Ignite-a-site websites can support and display the videos quickly and easily!

Tutorial: Embedding YouTube videos

Step 1

Login to your CMS area for your site.

Step 2

Go to the page name that you would like to display the video clip on via: [Edit] and then select the relevant page name.

For this example the edit page is called: Home – as I would like the video to be displayed on the Home page of the site.

Step 3

Now in the edit window, reference the line of code as displayed on the YouTube video website by simply cutting and pasting the line of code into the edit window.

For this example we will display a video of Roberto Carlos scoring a freekick, by embedding the code (as highlighted in red on the above image): 

<object width="425" height="355">
<param name="movie"
value="http://www.youtube.com/v/crSkWaJqx-Y&rel=1">
</param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/crSkWaJqx-Y&rel=1"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed>
</object>
Step 4 Once you have inputted the code click [Save changes] and then have a look at your website’s Home page. Please note: you will need to refresh the page of your website to view the changes. The video from YouTube will now be displayed on the Home page of your website!
