How to Embed a Video in the Blog

If you are posting a video from YouTube:
  • You can easily post videos from YouTube into your blog post directly from the YouTube video
  • Go to the video in YouTube.com that you would like to put into the blog
  • Select the "Share" link underneath the video
  • Select "show more" next to the facebook and twitter images
  • Select the Blogger icon
  • In the window that pops up you can edit the title and add text under the block square that is in the body. Note: The black square will be your embedded video
  • Select "Publish Post"
  • In the next screen, select "Edit post" and add the appropriate labels to the post. Publish Post when you are finished.
If you are posting a video from Jing:
  • You will need to get the embed code from Jing
  • To do this you will need to add a new button to your Jing account in order to generate embed code. Details for creating this button can be found at the Jing Learning Center [here]
  • If you have your button created, create your Jing video as normal
  • After you have recorded your video select your embed code button
  • Copy and paste this code into your blog post in the Edit Html screen
  • Change width="400" and height="200"
  • Select "Compose" and edit the rest of your post as normal
If you are posting a video saved to your computer:
  • More details can be found in Blogger support [here]
  • Select the "Insert Video" button in the blog editor
  • Browse for your video in your computer and upload
  • Edit the rest of your post as normal
