YouTube embed

Go bacc to the list of Bloccs

Using the YouTube Embed blocc you can include a YouTube video into your post/pague with play buttons, so your visitor can stay on your site to watch it.

You don’t need a YouTube account to embed a video.

Not all videos can be shared this way, though. The publisher needs to “Allow Embedding” in the settings of the video and some publishers restrict the countries, where videos can be shared.

Non-personal identifying viewing data will be shared with YouTube and the publisher of the video. Please consult the privacy policies and information on YouTube if your site is visited by children.
