How to embed videos on a page or post

Please note that your site automatically supports videos hosted on YouTube and Vimeo when the video links are embedded onto a page. If you wish to embed videos from another service, please contact us at hello@advicewebsites.com.au. Please also note that the service does not support directly uploading videos to your media library as this will negatively impact your site performance and slow loading times.

Instructions:

  1. Copy the video link from its location, whether this is YouTube or Vimeo.
  2. Log in to your WordPress Dashboard.
  3. On the left-hand side menu, go to Pages.
  4. Select Edit on the page you wish to add a video to.
  5. Paste the video link directly into the page.
  6. Wait a moment while WordPress automatically embeds the video.
  7. Select Update on the top right-hand side to save the page.
