To embed a YouTube in a post

Simply grab the YouTube URL and paste it into a blank line of your post. WordPress will automatically read it as a video to be embedded and size it appropriately for you.

Just make sure that the URL you choose looks similar to the one below. Delete any ampersands and whatever follows them.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KY4hdQK7o9g

To specify the height and width of your video, you’ll need to surround that URL with embed tags, as shown in the video.

To embed other types of videos in your posts

• Vimeo works the same way as YouTube above
• Check out the related menu on this page for a list of instructions for embedding videos from many different sites
