YouTube or Vimeo

To embed a YouTube or Vimeo video, 

1. Copy the video's URL. 

2. Paste it into either the visual editor or the text editor. It does not matter which.

3. Add an embed shortcode before it, and a /embed shortcode (which includes the slash) after it. See the example below.

4. To fix a width, add width= to the embed shortcode. This acts as a maximum width, the video will never be wider but may shrink if the browser width is too narrow. The measurement is automatically taken in pixels, so if you type width="280" it means 280px. See the example below.
