Do you want to embed YouTube videos in your WordPress blog posts?
Videos help to increase the time your users spend on your website, and some visitors may even prefer to watch a video than reading written text. But uploading them directly to your site is a bad idea. If your video goes viral, it will crash your server. So, a better way is to upload your video to YouTube and then embedding them in your WordPress site.
The biggest worry that most bloggers have is that they may have to code in HTML to embed videos. But WordPress actually makes it super easy to embed videos from video hosting sites like YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Twitter, and many others.
In this article, we’re going to show you step-by-step how to embed YouTube videos in WordPress.
让我们开始吧。
Method #1: How to Directly Embed a Single Video in WordPress
WordPress comes with an amazing feature called auto-embed. With Gutenberg, you can directly fetch a video on any page in your site.
All you have to do is copy and paste the URL of the video directly in the content area:
And WordPress will automatically fetch the YouTube video and embed it in your content.
Method #2: How to Embed Videos in WordPress Sidebar Widgets
Go to Appearance » Widgets in your WordPress admin area and then click the Plus add block icon. And search for Video in the search bar:
Then, all you have to do is click the ‘Update’ button, and the video widget will go live on your website:
The size of the video will scale automatically based on the size of your widget area.
Method #3: Using WordPress Video Embed Plugins to Embed Videos
You can use WordPress video embed plugins to embed a YouTube video on your site. A plugin can help you automatically embed all of your YouTube channel videos in a customizable gallery format.
