Videos

There are many websites available where users can upload and share their video clips. The vast majority offer their services for free and allow you to embed the video clips in to your own website. Some even allow you to create an entire playlist or a list of favorites, which you can embed directly from their website. Below we show you how to use widgets to insert a YouTube movie or playlist.
