<h2>Why Embed A Youtube Video Into Your Website?</h2>
<p>In a successful blog post or a high converting website page, the most important thing is content.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Content is what keeps the reader engaged with your website page or blog.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Sometimes you may have the best content and clear instructions on your web page but there still may be some parts that could miss in writing text and screenshots.</p>
<p>This is where videos come in handy. Not only do they provide clear and concise information, but also a good engagement with the viewer.</p>
<p>Something as simple as adding a youtube video to your website can be the striking difference between the user staying on your website or just moving away from it.</p>
<p>Embedding a youtube video by a link that nobody will click is useless but if the viewer can see a clear youtube video right there in your HTML Website could be amazing.&nbsp;</p>
<p>This is not the easiest thing that is taught to everybody in our daily lives but in this post, we will show you how you can embed a youtube video in your website in 5 easy steps.</p>
<h2>1. How To Get The Embed Code For Your Website</h2>
<p>Getting the embedding code for the youtube video is very easy and youtube helps us with that.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Before you get the code, you have to research what video you are going to embed. It could be a video that you own or a video on youtube that clearly shows what you are trying to say. It could also be a video that you have on your PC, you can use that video and upload it on youtube and then use that video.</p>
<p>Once you have found the video you want to embed in your HTML Website, just open that video in your favorite browser.</p>

<h2>2. Adding The Youtube Embed Code To Your HTML Website</h2>
<p>Now that we have the youtube embed code ready, it's now time to copy this to the HTML file of your website.</p>
<p>Open the HTML or website page you want to add the video to and then paste the copied code into the HTML.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Although it's fairly simple, If you have limited knowledge about website development, you may need a web developer who can do this for you. Understanding where is your HTML file is located could be a tough one to find but somebody who knows a bit of web stuff could be your best buddy.</p>
<p>Paste the code in your HTML and publish the changes.&nbsp;</p>
