EmbeddingVideos

How do I add a video to my blog or web page?+

1. You'll need to edit the HTML of your blog entry or page—this should be relatively straightforward. In Blogger, for example, just click the "Edit HTML" tab.

2. Next, go to the video that you want, and look for the 'Embed' button under the Video. Copying the HTML code that's there into your website will create an embedded player.

How do I add a video to my social network page?+

Adding videos to your profiles on social networks like MySpace and Facebook is a great way to share your videos or favorites with friends. Or, if you're promoting something (like your band) on MySpace, videos will help attract visitors to your page, who can then then share the link with their friends. The social network sites have similar ways to add videos, so we'll use MySpace as an example.

  1. Sign in to your MySpace profile, then click the "Edit Profile" button.
  2. Next, go to the video that you want, and look for the 'Embed' button under the Video. Copying the HTML code that's there into your website will create an embedded player.
  3. Click "Preview", and then "Submit".
