3 Easy Video Embedding Tips

Our Drupal development agency has a lot of experience, so it's not a problem for us to make YouTube videos responsive. We want to share with you some of the best video embedding practices.

1. 1. Place the video in the right place on the site
   When adding a video, consider where it would be best to place it on the site. For example, if you want to capture visitors' attention, then place a video at the top of your site.
   If your goal is to confirm the words or back them up with evidence or provide more detailed information, then we recommend posting a video inside the blog or at the end.
2. Prefer short and informative videos
   The longer the video, the more likely user engagement will drop. Therefore, it is recommended to use 2-3 minute videos. Although, for example, if this is a guide, then it can be longer. It all depends on the type of video and the information it contains.
3. Get professional help if you feel it's all too complicated
   Call specialist if embedding videos from YouTube or Vimeo does not work. It's better to take help than to add videos that don't play or don't respond.
