We may eventually switch to a method to host our videos locally, but for now we will embed videos from YouTube. The process is pretty simple.
Just don't miss step (3) to avoid having YouTube display related videos, which is very distracting.
(1) Upload the video you want to embed and go to that video on YouTube.
(2) Click on "share" and then "embed"
(3) Uncheck the box that says, "Show suggested videos when the video finishes"
(4) Copy the html code inside the box.
(5) While editing a page from our website, click "source" in the upper left corner. Depending on how complicated your page is at this point,
you may have to work a little bit to understand where your video should fit. Do the best you can and paste the html code from YouTube where
you think it belongs.
(6) Save the page you're editing and check to see if the video plays. Also check the end of the video to ensure that no suggestions are listed
after the video is finished playing.
(7) When you open up the page again to edit it, you'll see that your YouTube video now looks like a blank image with the text "IFRAME"
inside of it. From here you can edit the video as you would an image. You can highlight and center it. You right click the image and go to
IFrame properties to adjust the size. From YouTube the size should be in a ratio of 4/3. Make sure as you adjust the size you maintain that
ratio as Drupal will not do it for you.
