YouTube Embed Code – Copy & Paste to Play the Video on Your Website

Embedding your YouTube video into you website is the final step completes the circle and is super important. The next time the Google spiders scan your website, they will pick up this code indicating to them that you have embedded a video that has a title and description with your keywords. Conversely, when they scan YouTube itself, they will see in the description of the video that it is linked back to your website. Simply copy and paste the embed code into your website to play the video on your website.

Note, this must be done in your website editing software and it’s very similar to inserting an image onto your web page.

As seen in the previous image, simply select the size of the video frame you want to appear on your website from the little drop down menu, then copy the code that appears in the box above.

Setting Up a YouTube Account

A YouTube account is free and uploads are free. If you already have a Google account (Gmail or YouTube), simply log on. If you don’t have an account, it takes less than a minute to create one. Learn how to set up a Google account here.

Note: A Google Account works across all Google products (e.g. Gmail, Blogger, Maps, YouTube, and more).

If you’ve signed into any of these products before, you already have a Google Account. To sign in, enter the email address you entered on those products (if you use Gmail, it’s your Gmail username). If you don’t have a Google Account, you can create one on YouTube.
