Video into a webpage:
- Go to the YouTube Home Page
- Look for the search box
- Search on something that will
uniquely identify the video - You will likely be given several
choices of video to look at. Click
on the one you are looking for. - Once the video comes up, look
for the word embed underneath
the video - Click on embed
- Look for the highlighted code
that appears after you click embed - Copy the code by holding down the
control key and hitting the letter c
at the same time. If you hold down both
keys simultaneiously, you have a key combination
commonly known as a control-c. - Use the control-c to copy the
embedded code - Paste the embedded code into your web
page using a control-v
How you copy and paste may differ from
the steps given above. A copy and paste
on a Windows computer is control-c (copy)
followed by a control-v (paste).
Putting the embedded video into a webpage
is another topic that is really not covered
by these steps. In other words, you need
to know a little bit about altering web
pages to follow these steps.
Where can you place your embedded YouTube
videos? Place it anywhere you can place HTML.
Embedded YouTube videos go where HTML goes.
There are so many different possibilities
including regular web pages, bulletin boards,
and social networking web pages. However, all
these possibilities need to have one thing
in common in order to embed a YouTube video.
All these possibilities need to allow you to
write your own HTML.
YouTube embedded code is HTML. If you
are not allowed to embed HTML into a webpage,
you will not be allowed to embed a YouTube
video.
