HTML Adding Youtube videos
Adding a video to a webpage was a real challenge since one had to convert the videos to different formats to make them play in all browsers. Converting videos to different formats can be difficult and time-consuming.
Now, adding a video to a webpage has become as easy as copying and pasting and a very apt solution to add videos to a website is using Youtube. YouTube helps to host a video for a user so that they can be further embedded on web pages.
YouTube displays an id like “BGAk3_2zi8k“, whenever a video is saved or played. This ID is further used as a referral for the YouTube video to be embedded in the webpage.
