How to Embed YouTube Videos in WordPress.

How to Embed YouTube Videos on Blogger. 

For bloggers, it is a little difficult to embed a video. Follow the tutorial below to make it easy.

1) Go to YouTube.com.

2) Navigate to the video you want to embed.

3) Select the embed option after clicking the share button.

4) Finally, copy the code.

5) Go to bloggger.com, open the post, and select "HTML view."

6) Finally, paste the code.

You can also embed YouTube videos by clicking on the video option in Blogger, but this method doesn’t work for small channels because they don’t get high rankings, so it is difficult to find the video in this option. If you find your video in this option, don’t go with the above method.

I hope that your queries regarding YouTube video embedding are resolved. If not, you can ask me in the comments section.
