How to embed youtube video in my site

Go to the YOutube page of the video you want to embed.  Under the video, click on 'Share' and then on 'Embed' and it will show you the code you need to use.  Note that the URL is not the same as the one in your address bar.  It will probably look something like this:

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/LIAZWb9_si4?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

You should also know that not all videos can be embedded.  Some are not available for embedding.

Yes Dave, as I mentioned, I tried this and it doesn't work on my webpage. I don't know if it's the <div> structure of my webpage or what, but that embed thing just doesn't work.

Thanks

The video that you are linking to is not a Youtube video so you can't use Youtube methods to link to it.  You will probably have to get permission from the owner to use it on your site.

I see nothing about your page that would prevent it.  Post the URL of the Youtube video you want to embed so I can check it out.

I used DaveBaldwin's first answer and it seems to work fine.

<p>Hello and thank you for visiting my site! I specialize in internet research...
here's a brief explanation of what I am able to provide
you : As a Dog Research Specialist, I am able to do all the necessary
research for writers, editors, copywriters, publishers, novelists,
marketing strategists, companies, or for anyone who may be in need of
reliable, credible, focused, relevant information.</p>

<p>Let me do the research for you - and deliver it on a silver platter
for you and your writers to use. I'll sort and sift through the
millions and millions of pages of content on the Internet - focusing
on credible, reputable and quotable sources your writers can use to
provide maximum proof and credibility behind what they're writing about. I'll find
out what's most relevant and leave out the rest. All my research is compiled into a single word
document delivered to you with the appropriate source citations for your
future reference.</p>

<p>You will enjoy the benefits of solid and thorough research, extra time, and increased
revenue.</p>

hey guys, it worked fine! My mistake was that I wasn't uploading my changes to my FTP server... I only tested it locally on my computer and the video wasn't coming up - guess it needs to be uploaded to see the fixes.
   Anyway, I wanted to change the size of the video so I modified the line:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/8Jh2_2z92mw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

... to this:

<iframe width="280" height="158" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/8Jh2_2z92mw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

but it moved the location of the video up so it's overwriting the text above. Please see www.researchondogs.com again. Probably something really simple I need to do to fix it...

Thanks!
    Shawn

Try giving the iframe a class called myClass and adding the following css which will push the iFrame down.

.myVideo{margin-top:30px;}

Thanks padas, but I don't know how to use CSS very well. I've never used "classes" ever.

Thanks
    Shawn

<iframe class="myVideo" width="280" height="158" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/8Jh2_2z92mw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I would suggest you start here http://www.codecademy.com/tracks/web to get the basics

Thanks Dave, that did the trick!

Cheers
