Embed

[Enoch]

Can we still embed a video from youtube into a blog post? And if we can, how?

[Drew Espinosa]

Billy, just copy the link of the video and paste it into the editor and it should automatically embed.

Drew, into the link or other media? Because as a link it just shows the link and not the player

I've seen some links not embed, while the vast majority does. I'm not sure why that is.

I'm trying to embed a song for a blog post. I've seen it done by others and in the past I have myself, but it's been so long I've forgotten how.

Just copy and paste it in the typing field, like you were  typing a message. Then let it sit for a moment, and it should automatically embed. If it doesn't it's one of those videos that cant.

On YouTube click the share button, and use the url there.

Thank you. I got it. It was one of those that wouldn't embed.

1. First, copy the link in the url --> 
2. Then, past the link in the Content box in your blog --> 
3. It should automatically embed. 

If this doesn't work, I'm not sure what the problem could be, but I'm sure another can help.

Were you able to find a different video of the same song- one that embedded automatically?

[Enoch]

Thanks Drew! I got a good song to embed. The other was kinda old, but this one works.
