HTML: YouTube

Hello, young web designer! In this tutorial, we're going to learn about inserting YouTube videos into your HTML web pages. Adding YouTube videos can make your site more engaging and allows you to share content from other creators. Let's get started!

  1. Find the YouTube Video First, find the YouTube video you want to embed on your web page. Visit the YouTube website, search for the video, and click on it to open the video page.

  2. Get the Embed Code To get the embed code for the YouTube video, follow these steps:

Step 1: Under the video, click on the "Share" button. Step 2: In the popup window, click on the "Embed" option. Step 3: You will see a box containing the embed code. It starts with <iframe.... Click the "Copy" button or manually select the code and press Ctrl+C (or Command+C on a Mac) to copy the code.

  1. Add the Embed Code to Your HTML File Now that you have the embed code, you can add it to your HTML file. Open the file you created in the previous tutorial or create a new one. Paste the embed code where you want the video to appear on your web page. For example:
html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>My Favorite YouTube Video</title>
</head>
<body>

  <h1>Check Out This Cool Video!</h1>
  <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ExampleVideoID" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

</body>
</html>

Make sure to replace the ExampleVideoID with the actual video ID from the embed code you copied.

  1. Save and Test Save your HTML file and open it in a web browser to see the embedded YouTube video on your web page. The video should be playable directly from your site, using YouTube's video player.

Adding YouTube videos to your HTML web pages is a great way to share content and enhance your site. Keep practicing, and soon you'll be able to incorporate YouTube videos into your web designs like a pro!
