Add YouTube to Website
YouTube is the most popular and the most effective video sharing service currently available on the internet. In addition to showing every video, movie, music video, and instruction video imaginable, their service also lets users upload their own creations. They can even encode and publish your videos on-the-fly. YouTube is also a constantly evolving application, where users can provide suggestions, make corrections, and even enter closed-caption subtitles for the available content. Last of all, their service can be used for free by general internet users. In fact, Google have actually gone so far as to offer free access to the YouTube API. That said, there are many enterprise solutions available, designed specifically for business-oriented uses and applications.
YouTube's Early Days
While YouTube has become one of Google's core products, the original idea and the basic building blocks of the service was first developed by three early employees from PayPal: Chad Hurley; Steve Chen; and Jawed Karim. However, the video-sharing application imagined by the entrepreneurs at their startup angel-funded startup was to be made available to the public only after a six-month closed beta program. In 2006, after many rounds of investment and after seeing some spectacular growth, Google started showing real interest in the project. Later in 2006, after many discussions with the company's technical and marketing divisions, Chad, Steve and Jawed made a very important decision: firstly, to sell their company to Google Inc for $1.65 billion dollars - at the time, Google's second-largest acquisition. All of this would lead to them revamping the service, and turning it into the rich and interactive online service we now call YouTube.
YouTube videos can be created with a few simple clicks on our website application. It only needs you to enter the address of the video and click on the button to generate the link. When the process is complete, the link can be copied and pasted into your website. This process is helpful for all types of websites including projects that include storytelling with YouTube. Here are some helpful tips for you to know:
1. YouTube Works On All Devices Use Satellite Imagery
Originally only working with Macromedia's Flash (later bought by current owners Adobe), these days YouTube works with all types of device. Desktop browsers - such as Chrome, FireFox or Internet Explorer - have been supported since day one, but now iPhones, iPads, Android phones and tablets, and Windows phone all support watching YouTube videos. What's even better is that Flash is no longer required; you can watch using new technology like HTML5 alone!
2. Extend YouTube Functionality with APIs
Google makes its Advanced Programming Interfaces (APIs) available at not cost to the public. This extends the movie functionality and lets users easily embed the information into a website. Iframes can be easily embedded, supporting a variety of playback options.
3. YouTube Added User Reviews and Comments
YouTube's goal is to give users lots of functionality. Their videos can also be used on mobile phones and on tablets (such as iPhones and iPads). User reviews are fully integrated into local YouTube views, and users can quickly get information, thoughts and comments about local programs to watch, in a variety of languages, and comment and like the programs they like.
4. Monetize Content Wiht Advertising
YouTube can also help you to make money with your content by adding adverts to your videos each and every time a user views them. You can sign up for the YouTube Partner Program in next to no time. You need to be careful to make sure that your videos don't feature any copyrighted material to take advantage of this though; if you have, for example, a song playing in the background, this may disqualify your video from being monetized. The key phrase to look for is "royalty free" - meaning that you've bought or been given the right to use the content for commercial purposes.
5. No More 10-Minute Limits
For a long long time, YouTube limited the maximum length of uploaded videos to just 10 minutes, meaning that if you had a longer video than this - maybe a home-made movie - you'd have to split it up into 10-minute chunks. Nowadays though, the default maximum length is 15 minutes, and you can apply to YouTube to remove this limit. Once the limit has been removed, the only remaining limitation will be file size, with a maximum of 128GB allowed.
YouTube- Way To Go!
You should use YouTube if you want to upload home videos, and share your content with friends, family, and the world. This is one of the easiest and convenient methods to get your videos online and read share them on-the-go. You don't even have to keep them on your computer! You can just keep them on your phone, and then pull up the videos to watch when you're travelling. It's a highly recommended way to travel. Give the new YouTube application a go; you'll be very happy that you did!
Why Embed YouTube on Your Website?
It's been said that moving pictures are the one original art form of the 20th century, and this is a good very good point. Content comes in many forms, from the movies we go to the theatre to watch, through to music videos, and home movies of our special moments. The problem is that they have been really difficult to share and make public, thanks to video's large file size, plus the scary, endless numbers of so-called "codecs" used to encode the video itself!
Thanks to YouTube's arrival, we no longer have to worry about any of that. Simply upload your video to them, and YouTube take care of the rest, with the result that what you wanted to share is now available, really quickly, to everyone you want to view it! Because you can embed YouTube videos on any of your websites, your visitors can watch your content without having to ever leave your website. You have full control over the playback experience.
Adding YouTube to your website has never been quicker or easier to do with our embed script options. Choose when a video should autoplay, and how big it should be, with a custom width and height on the playback window. Closed captions and subtitles can be turned on or off for all visitors, making your accessible videos available to a much wider audience. You can also choose from several options for the playback controls themselves, choosing whether they should always remain on-screen, or be hidden from view once playback has started. If your visitors are strugglging with keyboard control, you can disable this - or if the reverse is true, you can turn on keyboard support and amaze your power users! Don't want to play your video past a certain point? Then good news - you can tell the embedded vide to stop playing after a certain number of seconds, giving you true full control.
Is your website in a language that isn't English? Or do you visitors prefer a local language? If so, YouTube has many localization options, which means that your visitors can use the video player in their local language, and not be forced to struggle through the English interface with unknown words. It's also possible to turn annotations off - or turn them off if they're on already! The embedded YouTube video will take care of all of that for you.
At the end of the day, the main thing you get when you embed YouTube videos is giving your site's visitors convenience. You're making it far easier for them to watch what you want them to watch, all from the embedded player. You're also making a vast improvement to the process that they would have needed to take on their own, and that alone can increase both business and overall customer satisfaction.
