WiscWeb - Embedding YouTube Videos
The following document will walk you through how to embed YouTube videos on Pages and Posts in WiscWeb.
Embed YouTube Videos on Pages
There are two ways in which you can embed YouTube videos on Pages: using the Embed Content Page Element or just Pasting in the URL.
Embed Content Page Element
The Embed Content page element currently supports YouTube. For this, follow these steps:
- Navigate to YouTube and find the video you'd like to share
- Copy either the URL for the video or the share link that is included just below the video
OR - Navigate back to WiscWeb
- On your page, add the Embed Content page element where you'd like the video to appear
- Paste the copied URL into the page element
- Publish the page
Paste in the URL
The simplest way to add a YouTube video to a Text Block is to simply paste in the URL:
- Navigate to YouTube and find the video you'd like to share
- Copy either the URL for the video or the share link that is included just below the video
OR - Navigate back to WiscWeb
- On your page, make sure you have a Text Block added
- Paste the copied URL into the page
- Publish the page
Embed YouTube Videos on Posts
- Navigate to YouTube and find the video you'd like to share
- Copy either the URL for the video or the share link that is included just below the video
OR - Navigate back to WiscWeb
- On your post, paste the copied URL where you want the video to appear
- Publish the post
Troubleshooting
- The current embed options do not support some settings for your videos. For example, you may not be able to have the video start at a specific spot or show a custom thumbnail image.
