Embedding videos in a blog

To emphasize your point of view, embed Flash videos or YouTube videos in your community blog.

Procedure

From the navigation bar, click Communities and select the community you want to contribute to.
In the community Highlights page, in the Blog area, select the entry that you want to edit. Alternatively, click Blog in the community menu.
Click Edit and complete one of the following tasks:
- To embed a Flash video:
  1. In the Rich Text field, place the cursor where you want to embed the video, and then click the Flash icon on the toolbar.
  2. In the General tab, enter the URL for the Flash video. Flash videos usually have a .swf file extension.
  3. Override the default display settings by entering values in pixels for the width and height, as well as how much vertical and horizontal space to display around the video.
  4. In the Properties tab, update settings, such as the scale, quality, alignment, and playback options.
- To embed a YouTube video:
  1. From the YouTube video page, click Share and then Embed. Copy the embed information for the video.
  2. In the Connections blog entry, click the HTML Source tab and place the cursor where you want to embed the video.
  3. Paste the code that you previously copied between opening and closing <p> tags. For example:
```
<p>
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/QbEPPnZWJOw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</p>
```
Click Post to publish your entry. With Draft permission, your options are Submit for Review and Save as Draft. Then, refresh the page to ensure that the video displays.
