Embedding YouTube Videos

Embedding a YouTube video onto your page can be done in just a few simple steps.

To begin, go to the YouTube page for the video that you want to embed on your website. On the right, underneath the video information, is an Embed code; copy that whole code to your clipboard. Make note of the Width and Height in the code. YouTube's current embed codes have it listed near the beginning of the code, as the object width and height.

In Freeway, select Insert > Markup Item. In the dialog box that appears, paste the video's embed code and click OK. You will see a small square box on your document with an <H> on the upper left hand corner, like this:

This item can then be positioned on your page like any other Freeway item. In the Inspector, you can set the items width and height to match the values of the video, which will help you design around the video, as it will show you how much space the video is going to take on your completed page.

Now when you preview your page in the browser, your YouTube video will display in that space!
