Inserting Video

Video that you have uploaded to YouTube, Facebook or Vimeo may be displayed on your website by embedding the video player in a page. The various video websites give you HTML code but we don't recommend inserting that - use our system or your page may not be editable. 

YouTube is particularly useful in that any embedded video on your website will improve your page ranking on Google.

The actual video must be uploaded to the video website first of course. There are help files listed below. Copy the video URL as shown in the following examples:

Youtube.com
