Embed A YouTube Video Into My Tendenci Site


If you have video content that you would like to put up on your site, one of the easiest methods to use is to upload your video to YouTube and use the code that YouTube gives you to embed the video on your site.

Head over to You Tube and set yourself up with a free account. Post your video on You Tube and you are sharing your video with the whole world.

 When you upload a video to You Tube the leg work you need to do to blog your video has been done already. They have already created the Embed code for you. We'll get back to this in a minute

You can use this code to embed the video into your CMS page on your Tendenci site.

In this example,  I posted a video of a long lost Shaw Brothers martial arts film, the "Curse of the Serpent".

Notice the red arrow? That is pointing at the embed code that you will need to plug into your blog.

To get our video posted on this page, I went to the You Tube page for this video, selected the embed code and then edited this page and clicked on the HTML view to paste the code onto the page and hit submit and now the video is on this page!

 
You can also  use this process for a Vimeo video - more on that in this helpfile: how-can-i-embed-a-vimeo-video-into-a-cms-page
