The following instructions assume that you have the Video Embed Field module installed on your Drupal 7 site.  This is included on any Drupal Express site, but may not be installed on other Drupal sites found on campus.

Note: For best results, try not to put more than three videos on one page.

Embed a Video from YouTube

  1. Go to the video on YouTube.
  2. Beneath the video, select the "Share" link.
  3. Copy the URL.
  4. On your Drupal site page, type in the following shortcode, replacing your-url-here with the URL you copied from YouTube:
