Head over to your WordPress editor and create a new page or post. You&#8217;ll want to host your YouTube video there. Once you&#8217;ve begun your publication, look for the (+) sign on the top left corner of your screen. That&#8217;s where the magic begins!<\/p>\n<p>Click on the button and a menu of options will appear. Scroll down until you see the &#8220;Block Section&#8221;.

Click inside the Embed block and paste the URL there. Then click on &#8220;Embed&#8221; and voila! A preview of the video will appear inside the dotted line box on your screen.<\/p>\n<p>There are also some settings you can play around with for your viewing pleasure. These include width, height, and alignment of the video. You can even select the thumbnail to display with various toggle options. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_Five_Personalising_the_Video_Settings\"><\/span>Step Five: Personalising the Video Settings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div>\n<p>If you wanna spruce the video up some more, fiddle with the settings until you&#8217;re a happy camper.
