Embedding Youtube Videos in Content

Soul Source automatically embeds youtube videos into a content post

To do this you do need to know how to 'copy and paste' on your device (phone/pc)

 

To embed a youtube video you need to do the following

 

Get the url of the video clip you want to embed

  • Go to the youtube video page
  • Hit the 'share' link on the page
  • Copy the share url (see the image below - note -can use the 'copy' link)

  • Paste the url directly into the text editor on soul source

the link will show as below

then will automatically embed the link to the embedded video as below

to remove a quoted video...

a quick way is

click underneath the quoted video and then click 'back/backspace' till the quoted video is deleted

a quick tech tip 
you can embed youtube videos to start at any time you wish....
eg below starts at 17:59

just right click the video and choose 'copy video at URL at current time" and then paste it into our editor

or on youtube when hitting the share link  tick the 'start at time" box
