Incorporating a video into my website

Hello, How should I incorporate a video into my website? Currently it's hosted on Youtube ... which means when it's done playing it could be followed by anything. It's 20k kilobytes so not overly huge.

TIA!

Jane

    I'm having fun with MP4 videos and HTML5. My videos are short and small too (about as small as a video can get, in fact), so hosting them on my server is not a big issue. The end result requires just a tiny bit of code:

    <video width="WIDTH" height="HEIGHT" controls="controls">
    <source src="http://www.WEBSITE.com/videos/VIDEO.mp4" type="video/mp4">
    </video>
    That's it - YouTube not required!

      Just retrieve the embed code from the YouTube video and paste it into a wordpress post or page (make sure the setting is text rather than visual) when you do this.

      Additionally, I find that videos load faster and have less interruptions if you just use the embed code method as opposed to loading your own video and hosting it.

      I will embed your video on your website with clickable link

        Yeah as simple as this, just right click the video and you can copy the embed code
