Youtube is a fantastic tool for sharing videos. They offer a solid service free of charge. Their servers are optimized for hosting video. You can expect better performance when streaming video using YouTube compared with hosting your own video. YouTube also makes it easy to share your videos. Under each video they provide HTML code you can use on your site. This makes displaying your videos effortless.

Once you have found the video page. Click on share, which is right under the actual video. You will see a panel slide open and then click "embed". You will see some highlighted code appear. You will need to copy the code. This is the code for our video we linked to.
