How do you embed videos?

Question

How do you embed a youtube vid onto your 360* page? I tried copying and pasting the url but I can't get it to work...is there something else I should do?

Answer 1

Copying and pasting a URL is not the same as embedding. Linking to a page takes the person away from your space to another page to see the video. Embedding allows the person to watch the video right on your 360 space.

- Find the embed code for the video that you want to add. See http://www.youtube.com/sharing , for an example of how this embed code is displayed. You can choose a video from Yahoo! Video, YouTube, or Google Video (and even more services than that).

- Click on "My Blog" and create a new entry.

- Type some text in the actual entry space as well, as it might not save.

- Click the box next to "View HTML source" in the upper right of the entry space before adding code.

- Copy the embed code and paste it into the space.

- Click the box next to "View HTML source" to get back to regular view if necessary. It may not show up until the entry is Previewed or Saved.

- Click "Save" button and see if it appears.
