Adding Video to Your Website

 

The easiest way to put watchable video on your site may be to upload it to YouTube and then put their coding on your site - people can then view the video on your website.

Here's How:

1. Set up a free YouTube.com account

2. Covert the video to mp4 format (you'll probably need to download
video converting software - the one we use is:  Leawo Video Converter

3. Upload the mp4 file to YouTube.

4. Code will be generated so you can add the playable video to your site.

5. Place that coding on your website where you'd like the video to appear.

Pro:  easy to do, uses YouTubes bandwidth instead of yours
Con:  tiny YouTube video thumbnails will be available under your video after it's viewed


Want Another Option?

If you have the video in a web-viewable format such as wmv you can simply upload it to your hosting space and put a link to it on one of your pages. When viewers click the link, they'll either download or view the video, depending on their browser and plug-ins.

Best Option:

The preferred option is to have the video converted to Flash and then embed the flash file into your pages.
Keep in mind that sharing video embedded on your website uses extra bandwidth.
 

You'll want to convert your video to Flash FLV Video and then embed it to your homepage:

FLV stands for "Flash Video" which is the name of a file format used to deliver video over the Internet using Adobe Flash Player.
