How to add a video in a WordPress website

There are several ways to add a video to a WordPress website. Here are three of the most common methods:

1. Embed a video from a third-party site

This is the easiest way to add a video to your website. Simply find the video you want to embed, copy the URL, and paste it into your WordPress post or page editor. WordPress will automatically embed the video for you.

2. Upload a video to your WordPress Media Library

This is a good option if you want to have more control over the video’s settings. To upload a video to your Media Library, go to Media > Add New in your WordPress dashboard. Click the Select Files button and choose the video file you want to upload. Once the video has been uploaded, you can insert it into your post or page by clicking the Add Media button and selecting the video from your Media Library.

3. Use a video plugin

There are many WordPress plugins that can help you add videos to your website. These plugins offer a variety of features, such as the ability to add multiple videos to a single post, create video galleries, and customize the look and feel of your videos.

Once you’ve added a video to your WordPress website, you can customize its settings by clicking the Edit button next to the video. You can change the video’s title, description, and alignment, as well as add captions and other metadata.

You can also use the Settings tab to change the video’s playback settings, such as the size of the player, the autoplay and looping options, and the controls that are displayed.

Adding videos to your WordPress website is a great way to engage your visitors and add visual interest to your content. By following these steps, you can easily add videos to your website and customize their settings to fit your needs.
