Insert Video to The Front Page



To insert a video you will need to install a plugin that will help you to insert the video as a widget into the sidebar.

From your Dashboard go to Plugins/Add New and search for:Black Studio TinyMCE Widget" click Install Now/OK and then click on the Activate Plugin link.

Go to YouTube and find the video you want to use for your site. You can see the one I found here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26KzUnEbTUs

Once you had found the video, click on Share than Embed and copy the selected code.

In your Dashboard go to Appearance, Widgets and you will see a list of available widgets on the left, and a list of the different widget areas on your site. You want to click on the little triangle for your Left Sidebar to see all the widgets currently placed in that area of your site.

You can drag the widgets from the Left Sidebar and drop them over the list of available widgets, or just click on the little triangle for every widget, and then Delete.

Once you remove all the widgets from the Left Sidebar, find the Visual Editor widget from the list of available widgets, and drag it and drop it over the Left Sidebar

Make sure that you switch to Text mode before you paste your code.

You can put as a title Our Recent Video, or whatever you like, or you can just leave it blank, and paste the code into the text editor field. The code will start with something like” <iframe width="560" height="315....” where you want to change the width to 320 and the height to 300 and click Save than close.

Now when you go and refresh your website you will see that your video loads in the Left Sidebar.
