How To Embed Videos In Google Blogger

Embedding Videos In Google Blogger

Meta Description: Learn the essentials of creating compelling blog posts with this easy-to-follow tutorial on  and video embedding in your post editor.

This tutorial will cover the fundamental features of most standard post editors. While the exact button icons or menu names might vary slightly depending on your platform (e.g., WordPress, Blogger, Squarespace, custom CMS), the core functionalities remain the same.

Embedding videos from platforms like YouTube or Vimeo directly into your post enhances engagement without hosting the video yourself.

Step 1: Get the Video's Share/Embed Code (or URL)

• For YouTube:

  • Go to the YouTube video you want to embed.

  • Click the "Share" button below the video.

  • Click "Embed."

  • Copy the entire <iframe> code that appears.

  • Alternatively, you can often just copy the regular video URL from your browser's address bar.

• For Vimeo:

  • Go to the Vimeo video.

  • Click the "Share" icon (paper airplane).

  • Copy the <iframe> code from the "Embed" section.

  • Alternatively, copy the regular video URL.

Step 2: Position Your Cursor

• Click in your post editor where you want the video to appear.

Step 3: Insert the Video

This step can vary significantly depending on your editor:

• Method A: Direct URL Paste (Most Common & Easiest for Modern Editors)

  • Simply paste the video's regular URL (e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yourvideoid) directly into the post editor on its own line. Many modern editors will automatically "embed" (convert) it into the video player.

• Method B: "Add Media" / "Insert Video" Button

  • Look for a video icon, "Add Media," or "Insert Video" button in your toolbar.

  • This might open a pop-up where you can paste the video URL or the <iframe> embed code.

• Method C: HTML/Text Mode (If Automatic Embedding Fails)

• If your editor has "Visual" and "Text" (or "HTML") tabs, switch to the "Text" or "HTML" tab.

• Paste the <iframe> embed code you copied from YouTube/Vimeo directly into the HTML where you want the video to appear.

• Switch back to "Visual" mode to see if the video player appears.

Congrats! You are done!
