Embedding a YouTube Video

Embedding YouTube videos on your site is a great way to boost SEO for your website.

Any YouTube, Vimeo or other professionally hosted video can be embedded on your Nimble website. We recommend using YouTube as that is the platform which is supported within Nimble 2.0. It allows you to paste in either the embed code or the video URL.

First, find the video on Youtube that you want to embed. Under the video on the right side you’ll see a series of buttons. Click the “Share” button to display options.

In the Share popup you can copy the URL, or you can copy the Embed code. Either will work within Nimble.

Next, go to the content where you want to embed the YouTube video. In the text editor options on the “Insert” tab you’ll see a red button with a play icon in the center. This is the “Embed YouTube Video” button, click on it to show the popup.

Within this popup you’ll see that you can add either the embed code OR the Youtube video URL. Once you have added the code or URL, click “OK” at the bottom of the popup.

Once you click “OK” your video is now embedded and will show a preview within the content item. By default, videos are set to responsive sizing (100% width) to adapt to mobile devices.

To delete/remove a YouTube video from a content item, simply click to place your cursor before the video and hit “Delete” on your keyboard until the video disappears.

You can easily control the size of your embedded video by adding it to its own content item. This way you can resize the video’s widget independently from other content on the page.
