Can I add a YouTube video into a news item?

Yes, you can or add it to any other page that uses the generic section type.

Basically:

  • go to the YouTube site and view the video you want to embed
  • select the Share option in the YouTube options
  • select Embed and copy the HTML it displays into your machine's clipboard
  • go to your web site and log on as administrator, go to the News section
  • select the pencil icon to edit the article that you want to add the video to
  • using the Edit HTML icon, copy that HTML into the news item and submit.

To illustrate what to do, I've created a video to illustrate how a Tom Russell video was added to a newsitem about a Real Music Club concert.
