Add a YouTube video to your web page

The simplist way to add a video to your web page is to upload the video to YouTube. Then while on the YouTube website, create a custom player, then select the video you want to play inside of the player. Then click the button to "Generate Code". Copy that code snippet then open your web page and paste the code inside the HTML area of your web page.  Below is an example of the end results.  (If you do not see the video below then your firewall may be blocking it. Some employers turn off access to YouTube.)



Go to your YouTube account and click "Custom Video Players", then "Create Custom Player". Select a color and format for your player, and then choose what is going to play in it—you can choose a playlist, your own uploaded content, or your favorites—and then click the "Generate Code" button. Copy and paste the code into your blog entry or web page.
