How To do You Tube

Classmates - would you like to put your favorite You Tube video on your Profile page? Here’s how:

On You Tube, make sure your video is showing in the play box. Example: you want to put the Muppets Mahna Mahna video on your site. (If you want to follow along, the URL is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTXyXuqfBLA&feature=related.)

To the right of the video you’ll see a gray box, and near the bottom of this box is the grayed word “Embed.” And just below that a long horizontal white box that contains the code for the video. When this code is placed in the Video box on your Edit Profile page, the video player with your video will appear and classmates can view it from your page. Here are the steps to get the code on your page:

1. With your mouse, left click once on the white window that contains the code. It should turn blue. (Alternately, you can move your mouse across the box until all the code turns blue.)

2. On your keyboard hold down the Control key (Ctrl) and click the letter C key. This copies the code.

3. On your Edit Profile page, locate the box “Videos.”

4. Place your cursor inside the box and left click with your mouse.

5. Now press the Control key and the letter V key on your keyboard. The Embed code will now appear in your box. The code should look like this:

6. In the Video Description box just below, enter a name for your video or something about your video, like: “What’s a Mahna Mahna? Who cares?” This will appear just below your video.

7. Now click the Save button and go view your page.

8. You can go to my page and view my video to see how it should look on the page. The video will appear before your pictures.
