To embed videos in WordPress, you can use several methods:
- Using the oEmbed Method: Copy the video’s URL and paste it into your WordPress post or page. WordPress will automatically embed the video.
- Using the Iframe Method: Click the Share button on a YouTube video, copy the iframe code, switch to text mode in the WordPress visual editor, and paste the embed code.
- Using Video Blocks: Insert a new block and search for the “video” option. This will insert a video block with options to upload a video file from your computer, add a video from your Media Library, or insert a video from a URL.
- Using Video Player Plugins: Install a video player plugin like Presto Player, find the video you want to embed, click on the Share button, and paste the link in the required section.
- Using Video Widgets: Go to Appearance → Widgets in your WordPress admin panel, add a widget, and paste the video URL into the box.
- Using Custom HTML Widget: Get the embed code from the video, go to Appearance → Widgets in your WordPress admin panel, add a Custom HTML widget, and paste the embed code into the block.
Remember to always paste the URL for the video, not the share link for the video. Also, consider using plugins like ARVE Advanced Responsive Video Embedder or YouTube Embed for more advanced video embedding capabilities.
