8 – How To Add a Video

By the end of this article, you will know how to embed a video into a BoldGrid page. Embedding a video from a popular video site (like YouTube) is as easy as pasting a link to that video into your page. WordPress uses oEmbed to provide support to embed various media types easily. In this tutorial, we’ll work specifically with Youtube. Other video services can be embedded using the same method.
