Getting Started With YouTube Videos
First off a little bit of housekeeping. You do not have to produce your own videos to get something to share. YouTube does not restrict you from sharing other people’s videos. So that is some good news. We are already thirty percent done.
Steps to Embedding a YouTube Video
- Go to the YouTube website and identify the video you want to embed if you haven’t done that already. Note: Do not fall into the YouTube trap of clicking on the recommendations. Things can get addictive there.
- Just under the video there are three links labeled Add, Share and More. Click on the Share link as illustrated below.
Once that s done, YouTube will reveal three tabs right below it labeled Share, Embed and Email.
- Select the Embed Option to reveal the Embed Code as follows.
