Basic Steps
- Navigate to the video you want to embed on You Tube or Vimeo. Copy the URL of the video. (ex/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1c06xOF4uQ8)
- Using the Classic Editor (or a rich text module in Zuse Create), position your cursor where you would like to add the video on the page.
- In the editor, make sure you have the paste as text option selected.
- Paste the URL of the video into the editor. Make sure it doesn't become a link (it will display in blue text and be underlined). If it becomes a link, click on the link and choose the Unlink button.
- Make sure your URL is on it's own line with no other spaces.
- If the URL is non-secure (http://), add an "s" to make it secure. (https://). Since our site is secure it will only load other secure content.

Often, Wordpress changes <iframe> tags, or video URLs to shortcodes. This is usually okay. If this is causing you issues, please reach out to the Web Team.
