WordPress youtube embed

Contents

YouTube videos are a great way to enliven your site. Here’s how you can easily use them in your posts and pages, as well as in your widget areas and in comments you leave.

Watch the video below for a quick overview of how it works, and read below for more examples and settings.

We take care of the rest! You will see the video when you preview or publish your post (or page):

Note: You must use the full link, not a shortlink, for the video to be embedded.

To customize the video’s size and settings, use a shortcode. You can do this by copying the video URL:

Then create a shortcode using the format below. Be sure to replace the URL listed here with the URL of your video, and that the code is on a line by itself.

Note: The shortcode will not give you a preview of the video in your editor, you will need to preview or publish your post first.

You can also embed a YouTube playlist instead of a single video. Simply copy the playlist’s URL from your web browser’s address bar while viewing the playlist:

Be sure to copy the full URL, including &list=… at the end. That copies the entire playlist instead of a single video.

The playlist will look like the one below — you can preview it even before publishing the post:

You can specify the width and height of the embedded video by adding &w=... or &w=...&h=...to the shortcode. It will automatically adapt to your theme’s content length and give you preferred dimensions.

You can restrict related videos to only show videos from the same channel by appending &rel=0. YouTube does not offer an option to disable related videos entirely.

For example, this shortcode:

produces this video, which is wider than the default embed without custom width and height settings:

More Examples:

These are the optimizations that we currently support:

If you want, you may also embed YouTube videos when you leave comments on any WordPress.com site. Simply grab the URL of any YouTube video and paste it directly into the comment field:

Once your comment is posted/approved, you will be able to watch the video directly from the comment area.

From the YouTube Dashboard, click on Channel > Live Events > Enable. Your account must be in good standing to enable live events, subject to YouTube guidelines.

Once you have enabled Live Events, you can initiate a new stream by going to Video Manager > Live Events > Schedule New Event

The video must be given a Title to proceed, and you should set the privacy setting as well. You can embed a stream set to Unlisted or Public on your page, however a stream set to Private will show only a blank video.

Once you have filled in the information and selected a privacy setting, click Go Live Now. A separate window will appear and the Google Hangouts Live page will load. This may take some time depending on the speed of your connection.

When the green Start Broadcast buttons appears, you are ready to start streaming. At the bottom right click Links and then copy the YouTube Page link from the box.

Next, go to your WordPress.com page or post where you’d like this video to appear. Paste the link onto it’s own line (do not use the link button on the toolbar), and when you are ready, click Publish.

Now you can begin the broadcast, and users can click play on the embedded video on your WordPress.com site to stream the event. The broadcast is on a brief delay, and users may need to wait a moment and/or refresh the page to start the stream once you are live.

Once the event is over, the video will remain in place and can be replayed by visitors in the future. If you prefer not to have the video online after the live event, you can set the event to Private at YouTube, or simply remove the link from your page on WordPress.com.

Feature Highlights:

In most cases, we want our visitors to view the product video and then scroll down to read the actual content — which could be the blog post, or the landing page copy. Correct?

However in WordPress, YouTube videos are embedded using the default oEmbed solution. In which case, YouTube ends up showing related videos after the original video finishes playing. This tends to distract the users by showing them funny cat videos, right after they’ve seen your Long Tail SEO product pitch video. (I’m speaking from personal experience haha!)

We really don’t want that now, do we? Hide YouTube Related Videos stops that from happening by preventing YouTube oEmbed from showing related videos.

Feature Highlights:

Note: Sometimes, when you upgrade the plugin it might not work due to some caching issue. A simple fix is to manually deactivate and re-activate the plugin. This clears the cache, and it starts working again.

What makes a good YouTube WordPress plugins? Well, to answer that question, you would have to ask “What is it that I need?” Different people have different requirements from a particular type of product. That’s why there are more than 10+ YouTube WordPress plugins actively developed under the “YouTube for WordPress” category.

Hopefully you’ve found our list of the best YouTube WordPress plugins helpful. Just take a minute to choose the right plugin for you. I would strongly recommend not choosing a plugin with ten features, out of which you’ll be using only one. Write down what is it that you’re trying to achieve with the plugin. Once you’ve settled on your requirements, go through the list and select a plugin that meets your criteria.

I’ve moved all documentation to a website because I think it’s great to have a real WordPress environment set up and running with a working version of the plugin (latest) and a live demo for every piece of documentation.
