YouTube had revolutionized the way videos are being posted, shared & viewed on web. And Wordpress has revolutionized the web when Blog is concerned.
We delivered lot of sites built on Wordpress. As most of you know, Wordpress is not only blogging platform, but it can be used as powerful yet simple CMS (Content Management System). Its not a rare to find Videos on lot of sites now-a-days. And lot of our clients asks us, how to post YouTube Video on their Wordpress Blog or Website using Wordpress as CMS.
Of course, YouTube video can be posted easily on any webpage using YouTube video’s embedded code. That’s why YouTube is so popular.
But not everybody is expert enough to turn editor to HTML mode to do that. Moreover, its little difficult for average website owner to work in HTML mode.Here is the easy way, using which you can post YouTube video on your Wordpress powered Website. You can add it to Pages too.
Turn on the extra WYSIWYG editor icons using this button, on Post/Page. If you’re using Wordpress 2.8 or above, you can turn it one using Alt + Shift + Z shortcut.
Use this button to reveal extra buttons of Wordpress WYSIWYG Editor
Click on this button will reveal extra icons. Click on following Button to add embedded media.
Click on Add Embedded Media Button
This will open, a fancy dialogue box to add embedded media. Select File Type as Flash, and add URL of YouTube Video. And click on Insert.
Bingo!!!
That’s all you need to do.

Its really easy for my clients to use Wordpress and post Videos themselves.
Thanks for sharing this great stuff.
