YouTube offers a privacy-enhanced option for embedding videos on your page. Use this option to ensure that Google/YouTube is not adding cookies to our users' computers without their consent.

Remote Video (WebCMS)

If you're using the WebCMS, use the Remote Video media option.

1. Select the (+) WSYIWYG icon in the editor.
2. Select the "Remote Video" tab.
3. Paste the URL of the video you wish to embed. Here's an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pc4DWqFlqMo.
4. Press "Add"
5. The Upload dialog box will update to show the video URL, title, and thumbnail. You can add a description if you like, but it does not currently show on the published page. (Please ignore the "Directory" field.)
6. Save and Insert your Remote Video.

Using the Remote Video option will be easier for you because:

1. You do not have to know the correct code, just the URL of the YouTube video is needed.
2. The video will output at the correct size for its container and for your viewer's device.
3. You can later search for and find your videos.
   • You cannot search for iframes.
   • You will be able to update this Remote Video URL in one place and have it update everywhere, just like an image or PDF file.

 

Embed a Video in an iFrame (not using WebCMS)

Using the screenshot above as an example, and following the steps below, will help get your video working in an iFrame: 

1. Navigate to the video you want to embed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pc4DWqFlqMo is an example.
2. Below the video, click on "Share." A box will open.
3. In the Share box, click on "Embed."

   

4. In the "Embed Video" dialogue window, near the preview video, you will see the full iFrame HTML code, and a few options:
   • "Start at." By default, the video starts playing from the beginning.  If you need to start the video at a different position, check this box and add the time where you want the video to start. An example is to add 30 for 30 seconds. 
   • "Show player controls." Check this box if you want to display controls such as the ability to pause or skip ahead.
   • "Enable privacy-enhanced mode." Make sure this box is checked. It will prevent YouTube from tracking visitors who don't click the video.
5. You have two options to add your video to an iFrame:
   • Copy the full iFrame HTML code and paste it in the sourcecode on your page.
     <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/Pc4DWqFlqMo" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
   • Copy only the YouTube URL, click on the iFrame icon in the Toolbar and paste it in the URL field.
