How to include a video on a Blogger.com page

On some blog sites (e.g. weebly.com) there is the option to embed a video using the embed code. Here, in blogger, you can still include a video, but not using the embed code. To include a video your options are:


  • Option 1 - Upload a video: Click on the Blogger toolbar icon to embed a video --> this opens a box and asks you to drag and drop your video from your computer into the box. This will upload your video (it may take a while to do this). Below is a video that I uploaded to show this (video of a person skating on our lake at home):

  • Option 2 - Share a video from your own YouTube Channel:  Upload your video to YouTube --> then, back in your blog,  click on the Blogger toolbar icon to embed a video --> Select the option to embed a video from your YouTube videos --> a list of your YouTube videos (in your YouTube channel) appears --> select the video that you want --> Below is a video that I have embedded from my YouTube site (this one on how to embed a video into a Weebly page!)


  • Option 3 - Share a video that you found on YouTube: Similar to option 2, but for this option, you can embed a video that you find on YouTube (not necessarily your own). To do this, as before,  click on the Blogger toolbar icon to embed a video --> then select the "from YouTube" option --> paste the URL of the YouTube video in the box provided (or use this same box to search for a video) --> click "select". Here is a video on how to insert a video into Blogger!
