Steps
Get the url for your video and determine the page location
Before we start, obtain the url to your YouTube video, or have it handy in another window or tab. Decide where you want the video to display. Then, click the Edit tab on the page like you would normally.
Put your cursor where you want the video to display, and click the embed icon
You can embed video in any field that is a text editor, like the body field below.
In the text editing region, place your cursor where you would like the video to appear. You may want to create some space by adding returns. Now look for the video embed icon. It has a play button on it.
Paste the link to the video in the video embed field
You'll see a preview. The video will stretch to fill the screen; we can't do any alignment right now.
Save the content
Review your embedded video; repeat process as necessary
Take a look at your video, and make any additional edits as necessary. You may also embed videos.
