Embed vimeo and youtube on wordpress.com

Posted in tutorial by gcmouli on June 17, 2009

A very quick how-to on how to embed vimeo videos and youtube videos on wordpress.com – mainly for my own sakes and sanity. I keep doing this, and, each time, I forget how to do it, and I go google !. So here goes. It is a two step process for each though, but my grey cells have become greyer. What to do !

1. Make sure you are on visual mode

step1_1For youtube:

2a. Grab the URL from the youtube page (example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_KIqdS1SO0).

2b. Just type youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_KIqdS1SO0 within [ ]

For vimeo

2a. Grab the URL from vimeo (example: http://vimeo.com/4946315)

2b. Just type vimeo http://vimeo.com/4946315 within [ ]

3. You are done. When you publish, you will see the youtube video embedded in your post. Add text before and after the video for garnishing.

    Hey Mouli – you are one of a few wordpress blogs that have offered this solution for Vimeo, and it seems simple enough. But for whatever reason, it is just not working for me. When I publish, all I get is the code text.
    Help?
