You can embed any YouTube, Facebook, or Vimeo video into any of your ArtSites pages. However, before doing this, you'll first need to upload your video to either YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, or a similar video service where you can get an "Embed Code"

(FYI - Here are some instructions on how to upload your video to YouTube.)

Get a "YouTube Embed Code"

1. Click the 'Share' button located under the YouTube video you want to insert
2. Click the 'Embed' button
3. Copy the highlighted code provided in the expanded box using either Ctrl-C (PC) or Command ⌘-C (Mac) or right-click your mouse and select 'Copy'.
   (Do make sure the code is highlighted before you copy. Here are some more detailed instructions and options, if you're having issues.)

Once you have the embed code from YouTube (or any other video website), you can embed the code into your ArtSites website.

Get a "Facebook Embed Code"

3. Choose Embed Video from the drop down menu
