Introduction

Embedding videos and playlists on your website can significantly enhance the visual appeal and engagement of your content. This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to embed your own videos and playlists using both direct HTML embedding and the Humix WordPress plugin. Whether you are looking to integrate a specific video, set up a playlist, or simply want visitors to enjoy multimedia directly from your site, this article will walk you through the entire process. 

Steps

  1. If you are in the process of uploading videos to embed, want to embed a playlist, or don't have a specific video you want to embed but want to embed the player in a particular location, please select "Embed Video". From here you can download the Humix WordPress Plugin or copy the embed code to be placed directly on your site. 


  2. If you have specific videos uploaded and ready to be embedded, proceed to the Content section.

  3. This will direct you to the Humix content library where you can copy the embed code for each video. Hover over the desired video in the list, then click on the brackets icon to bring up the code for embedding.

  4. Click the Copy button to get the Embed Code. You can now paste this code into your Custom HTML editor in WordPress, or into the desired page's HTML if your site is built with a different CMS. Optional: You can Customize the Embed Code by clicking on the dropdown menu.

  5. Revisit your WordPress Custom HTML block and paste the embed code directly in the box.

  6. Select Preview to see how the video displays on the Post.

  7. (Optional) If using the Humix WordPress plugin, log into your WordPress account and select Posts.

  8. Add Block by either clicking the plus sign when the icon appears or by pressing enter above the position you wish to place the video. Type "/" to choose a block. Click on Humix block.

  1. Here you will see options for video/playlist URLs, auto-select, and efficient ways to add to other posts based on content and categories.

  2. If you need the URL, visit Humix.com or your Humix studio to select another video (or playlist) URL that you want to show on your post. Click on the Share icon at the bottom of the video and copy the Humix.com URL.

  3. If satisfied with how the video appears on your website, you can publish the Post to set the newly embedded video live.

That's it! You've successfully embedded a Humix video on your website. Visitors to your site will now be able to watch the video directly from your page.
