Embedding video from Youtube
The process for inserting media objects such as music or video can be a simple process if done through Youtube. On many aspects we recommend using Youtube for all of your media uploading needs as Youtubes takes away all of the hard work from converting your media files to a compatible, smaller, and more bandwidth friendly size.
To do this, you need to have an account on Youtube, if not then you will need to create one, which is done through "Creating Account" and entering the details you wish to be registered with.
In your user control panel you will be given the option of uploading a video.
Once you have uploaded the video you will need an "embed code" which can be found on the right hand side of the page, as highlighted below. This is an example of where to find the embed code.
From here, look at the part that reads "Embed" for the following code to insert into CareAbout. All you need to do is highlight all of that code in the window, normally achieved by right clicking that embed box and selecting the "copy" option.
The code for a video you've chosen should look something like this:
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RWB713KokXA&hl=en_GB&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RWB713KokXA&hl=en_GB&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
The next step after this is to input it in your CareAbout page of where your video is going to go.
Open up the page editor as per normal, though this time instead of pasting it straight into the editor, you need to switch the editing mode from WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) to HTML, which can be done by clicking on the "Source" button as shown below:
Now paste the copied code into the editor, which should now look like something below:
After this has been pasted, "Update Widget" to save your page. Your page should now have a placeholder of where your video is on your page described by a red outlined box.
Now preview your page and you should have a video embedded from YouTube.
