More and more websites are including video on them. We often get questions on how to publish a video on your website. Web Services’ recommended solution is to upload the video to YouTube or Vimeo and use their embedded browser.
Here’s why:
- They’ve built a business on it. Their servers are set up to stream video.
- They have the bandwidth. Instead of using CU*Answers’ hosting bandwidth, use theirs and send it directly to your visitor.
- They’ve already done all the hardwork to make an embeddable video player.
- It’s easy.
Lifehacker has put together a simple set of instruction on how to upload a video to YouTube. Once it’s up on YouTube you can then embed it on your website. If you are using WordPress with SiteControl, there is even a simple code you can use.
