How to Add YouTube Video to WordPress

hi guys I'm Sean from salon.com today

I'm going to show you how we can add a

YouTube video to your WordPress website

now let's say you have a blog post like

this and you want to add your video to

this blog post you can do that by

watching this video so let's get started

it's going to be very simple so to add a

YouTube video first let's go to

youtube.com

and then search for the video which you

won't add

I'm going to search for website learners

now select the video which you want to

add

you

so once you've selected the video you

need to copy the link of the video

so to copy the link just right-click on

the video

be video URL

you

now to add this video to your website

you need to paste the link in WordPress

so let's go to WordPress and now you

have two places where you can add your

video

you can either add your video to a post

or a page

so I'm going to add the video to a post

so let's click here

you

and first let's view the post

you

so you can see that this is my blog post

now to add the video to this post

just click Edit

you

and then paste the video link here

you

now as soon as he pasted the link you

can see that the video has been added to

our page now click update

and now if I go to this tab

and click refresh

you

you can see that the video appears on

our page now if I click Play

you can see that video now plays on our

page

so this is how you can add a YouTube

video to your WordPress website

next let's see how you can highlight a

specific part of the video

so let's say you want to show only a

part of the video to your visitors you

can do that by adding a start and end

time to your video so once you add a

start and end time when a visitor plays

your video it'll automatically start and

end at the time you have selected so

let's see how it works first we are

going to see how we can add the start

time

so let's go back to the video page

like shot

and in bed

now to the time at which you want to

start the video

you

so I want to start my video at one

minute 30 seconds

and once you have selected the time

enable this option which says start at

you

and then enter the time which you have

chosen

so I'm going to enter one minute and 30

seconds

so once you have entered the time here

you can see that your time has been

added in seconds

so now the code has been updated to

start the video at this time now

add the video with the start time

to copy the code

you

and then let's go back to our wordpress

website and click new and post

now enter diving for the post

and make sure your on the text tab

and then paste the code here

you

so now we have added the video with the

start time

so let's click publish

you

and in view the post

you

now if I click play you can see that the

video starts exactly at one minute 30

seconds

so this is how we can set a start time

for your video next let's see how we can

apply an end time so that the video

stops at a particular time

so to add an endtime

first choose the place where you want to

end the video

so let's say you want the video to end

at 8 minute 40 seconds just go that

and then right-click on the video

and select copy video URL at current

time

you

now open notepad and then paste the link

which you have copied

you

now this will give you the time you

selected in seconds

now to end the video at this point

just go to your website and click Edit

post

you

and you can see that we have the start

time here now let's place the cursor

here

you

and now to add your end time just type

semicolon e and E

equals

same time which you have on the notepad

so I'm going to enter 520 here

and now we have successfully added the

start and end time so let's see how it

looks we'll click update

and then click view post

you

now if I click play

you can see that the video has a start

and end time and the video automatically

starts playing at 1 minute 30 seconds

and when it reaches the end time

you

it'll stop play

so this is how you can show a specific

part of a video to your visitors

so now you know how you can highlight a

specific part of your video

next let's see how we can add a video to

a page which is built using Elementor

so now if you are using Elementor page

builder on WordPress you can use our

next method to add a video to your page

you

so to add a video to page like this just

click Edit with element or

to add the video

now let's say you want to add the video

here

just click the plus icon

you

and then click here

now choose the type of layout you want

I'm going to choose this one

you

and now we have two different places

where we can add our video so let's add

the video here so just click the plus

icon

and here you can see that we have the

video element

now if you drag this element

and Robert here

you can see that a video has been added

to our page now to change this video

you need to enter your YouTube link here

so first let's remove the default video

link

you

and now let's go to the video page

you
