WordPress makes it very simple to add a video to your Posts and Pages and even to widgets. If you’re going to upload a video, there’s an icon next to Upload/Insert in the text editor. Click on it and upload your video.
If you want to add a video from a third party, such as YouTube, that’s easy as well. On YouTube, many videos allow you to Share a video by grabbing the embed code. You can even choose the size of the video so it fits nicely. Hi-light and copy this code that is on YouTube.
