Embedding a video in WordPress can be accomplished easily in a few steps:
Find the Video URL
- First, grab the URL of the video you want to embed (e.g., a YouTube video link).
Edit Your Post or Page
- Open the WordPress editor for the post or page where you want the video to appear.
Insert Using a Block
- Click on the “+” button to add a new block.
- Search for the “Video” block if it’s a video file or “Embed” block for a video link from platforms like YouTube, Vimeo, etc.
- Choose the appropriate block.
Paste the URL or Upload
- For a video link: Paste the URL into the block and press Enter.
- For a video file: Click on “Upload” and select your video file.
Adjust Settings (Optional)
- Once embedded, you can adjust the video settings like autoplay, loop, etc., from the block’s toolbar or sidebar options.
Preview and Publish
- Always preview your post or page to ensure the video displays correctly, then hit “Publish” or “Update”.
Using Auto-Embed Feature
- Simply paste the video URL directly into the content area of your post or page. Make sure it’s not hyperlinked. WordPress will automatically convert it into a video embed.
By following these simple steps, you can easily embed videos into your WordPress site, enhancing your posts and engaging your audience more effectively.
