Embedding
Embedding a video is a method of inserting the video into a site that it is being hosted externally and reduces the memory required to load your page. It is a very useful technique but it does require you to upload your videos to a hosting site such as YouTube or Google drive.
**Update 30/04/2020 **
** The Google Photos/Drive tutorial may still work depending on the version you are using. Google really doesn’t want Photos and Drive to be a host for embedded videos and has updated to removed all possible ways. The best option now is to upload videos to YouTube, Vimeo or similar and embed from there. **
Personally, I keep all my files on my Google drive but the process to get the embed code is a little more complicate that it should be:
- Find or upload the Video file to Google drive
- Set Share Setting to Public, anyone with link can view
- Select Preview
- Click the “More Actions” icon (3 vertical Dots) upper right corner
- Select “Open in New Window”
- Click “More Actions” again. and
- Select and copy Embed Code
