Adding a YouTube Video

[DMZ]

I've seen that on some sites there are youtube videos embedded into their pages. Has anyone done this before and is it a hassle I'd like to do this so the videos are not using my monthly bandwith limit. I assume that if its linked to youtube that it's their bandwidth that's used.

Youtube's basically designed to do it. Most videos you watch on youtube have Embedding code right on the page for you to copy and paste into your HTML pages. The actual data for the video remains hosted at youtube so you would not be privy to the bandwidth use.

EG. Electric Six - Danger! High Voltage Youtube video embed code:
----

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aQQeg3jYgOA&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aQQeg3jYgOA&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

I love that feature Birge! This way you can coordinate the video to blend with your site design (at least a little).

It makes it look a lot more natural.
