How-To: Add a YouTube Video to a Landing Page

Posted by Deb Trifone on Friday, January 21, 2011 at 8:00 AM in Design, Technology

One of the features within our ilinkONE Version 8 software enables you to easily insert YouTube videos into a landing page. It’s easy to do… and it also can help to make your landing pages a bit more interactive.

Using a Template

If you are building a landing page with one of our templates, you will see a “YouTube Video” button within the WYSIWYG editor. After clicking that button, you simply need to paste in the URL of your YouTube video.

If you’d like to do this, here are the steps involved:

• Create a Landing Page (using one of our templates) within our ilinkONE Version 8 Marketing Software
• Go to YouTube and grab the URL for the video.
  For example, let’s use: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXEdwOkX-bM

• Back in V8, click the “YouTube Video” button in the Landing Page editor, and insert the URL

• After that, you simply need to save your edits. Then, hit the “Preview” button  — the video will be embedded directly into the landing page!

Using Your Own HTML

Even if you are using your own HTML for a landing page, you can still embed YouTube videos. It’s real easy to do this as well.

Go to YouTube.com and find the video. Click the “Embed” button. YouTube will provide the exact code that you need. Simply copy that code, and head back into the “Edit Landing Page” section of ilinkONE Version 8.

Paste the code wherever you would like the video to appear, and hit Submit.
