Using the Video Embedder Plugin for Wordpress

Step 1: You should already have the Video Embedder plugin installed into Wordpress.

Step 2: In a new browser window, open the video that you want to insert.

Step 3: Here’s an example. Say you wanted to use a Youtube video. Find the video you wish to use and in the URL you’ll find the video ID (as shown below). At the bottom of this post you’ll find how to locate the video ID out of the URL from all supported video sources.

Step 4: Now that you have the video ID you can embed it into your Wordpress post. In order to do this you must first put tag lines before and after the video ID, depending on which video source you are using. The video source (Youtube in this case), is placed in brackets: [video source]Video ID Goes Here[/video source]. Below is the correct format to embed our Youtube video into the post.

Step 5: Our finished product. After putting the video source tag lines and the video ID in this is what it should appear as.
