How To Add Youtube Video To WordPress Blog

Posted by in Wordpress How To | 4 comments


This post is quite silly to the people who know the following fact:

WordPress has the ability to embed YouTube videos automatically into the the posts if you just paste the video URL directly into the editor while publishing a post!

Simple huh :p

It is a gift for a WordPress blogger to be able to post any video of his choice from his favorite sites. Just make sure that you do not post something that violates copyrights.

Youtube Video To WordPress Blog

Not many WordPress bloggers realize this fact that WordPress can easily embed videos from Youtube, Dailymotion and other video sites. These are the following video sites which WordPress supports for auto video embed option into your WordPress posts:

#  YouTube
# Vimeo
# DailyMotion
# blip.tv
# Flickr (both videos and images)
# Viddler
# Hulu
# Qik
# Revision3
# Scribd
# Photobucket
# PollDaddy
# Google Video
# WordPress.tv

You don’t need any WordPress plugin to add this feature. It is an inbuilt feature of WordPress. Check out the following images for illustration ;)

    I heard about wordpress plugin to embed videos. But I need not have many videos so that I can use the plugin. I prefer manually adding the embed code.

      The choice is yours. The reason why I use the default cop/paste url method is because the plugin owner might change his ideas or stop development. Maybe youtube will stop letting you add that way.

      But I doubt the WordPress default method will stop working for a long time ;)
