How To Embed Videos In Your WordPress Blog
Hi,
Adding videos to your Wordpress blog is easy.
In fact, it is SO EASY that I put together a quick YouTube video showing you how.
This video shows you from A to Z, how to record your video using an application 
called Camtasia. How to convert the video to a format that is acceptable to YouTube, and how to upload the video to YouTube.
I show you which plugin you simply must have in order to quickly and easily display the video to your users.
I’ll show you where to download the plugin from, how to install it and configure it and will show you the plugin in action — that is, how to add your recently uploaded video to YouTube also appear on your post.
Now why would you want to upload videos to YouTube? Why not just upload them to your server?
- Viral videos
- Space & bandwidth
If your video is GOOD, word will spread and it becomes viral or atleast A LOT of people view the video.
Why host the video on your site and suck up bandwidth? Let YouTube use up their bandwidth hosting your videos.
I do apologize in advance for how grainy the video is. When it was recorded, it was much cleaner. Here is the video…
Here is the link to the video on YouTube

In the next couple of days, I’ll post a video showing you how to upload your video to YouTube!
Enjoy!

That is so east to do now. Just drag the “press it” link from your wordpress admin to your browser’s toolbar. After having that, just click the link to publish a video on your own blog while visiting that Video, that’s it.
What’s the ‘press it’ link please?
Andy – give me a couple of days and I’ll prepare a quick guide on using this tool.

Interesting article. Well yes, nowadays videos are somewhat of a important aspect in a blog. But some bloggers tend to over do it. The blog is full of videos which personally I feel is really unnecessary. Anything of too much is not good. Good job with the article. Keep it up. Cheers
Wow, that’s really cool. I always wanted to ad videos to my site but never knew how to
Definitely going to try this out tonight. Thanks a bunch. Cheers

I used to have a lot of trouble trying to get the videos attached, but now thanks to the drag and press option its so much easier. The video you posted there is brilliant and very useful.
Nice article! WordPress is a social media tool and everyone loves videos so you have to have them together if you are serious about attracting (and keeping) traffic.
Videos in WordPress YES… embedded from YouTube, NO. I upload to YouTube all the time and love it, but not when it comes to my own sites. Google now uses the lower third of all YouTube videos for advertising, and I don’t want those ads running on my site. Also, YouTube degrades the quality of the video, and I want the highest quality on my site. And with low-cost Amazon’s S3 to do the actual hosting of my videos (not on my own server), when I get lots of hits, my own site isn’t impacted adversely. So… add the S3 plugin, use Firefox to ftp your videos to your S3 location, and then play them in your WordPress blog… AND also put your videos on YouTube. You’ll get the most bang for your activities.
Best,
