Hello all, When I used iWeb, I had no problem embedding YouTube videos into my site. I'm attempting to do the same in EverWeb and whether I try the YouTube widget or the HTML widget, nothing is working. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Christine |

Drag the widget to where you want and put in the URL for the video. Don't use the "embedded" code that sets size etc. If that doesn't do it, be more specific about what is not working.

YouTube links can have different formats and you need to select the correct one for any given code. Here are some examples of YouTube videos inserted into an EverWeb page... Vimeo or YouTube YouTube Lightbox from a thumbnailimage YouTube Lightbox from a text link. YouTube in an HTML5 container. YouTube Gallery Responsive YouTube. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Look at examples from Roddy, it will help. If choosing between the HTML Snippet and the YouTube Video widgets that come with EW, they take different codes. If you go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHH4oLkjdlk and want to embed that EW video- If using the YouTube Video widget, when you click the Share button under the video, you want to use the code under the Share button- https://youtu.be/AHH4oLkjdlk If using the HTML Snippet widget, you want to click Embed and use this code- <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/AHH4oLkjdlk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> I recently discovered Roddys HTML5 YouTube widget and the code needs to be shortened to use it, like this- https://www.youtube.com/embed/AHH4oLkjdlk With Roddys widget you change the size in the widget using x and y adjustments. If using the HTML Snippet, you adjust size in 2 places. You can modify the size when you paste it into the HTML field like this- <iframe width="420" height="255" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/AHH4oLkjdlk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>. You can see I changed it from 560 by 315 to 420 by 255. Then you need to click the Metrics Inspector (where you set the height and width of objects) and enter the same sizes to have it set on the page correctly. If using the EW YouTube Video widget, you can adjust the size either in Metrics Inspector or just grab the boxes around the widget and drag them to the size you want. Hope this helps |
