How to embed a video to an article?

[Daria Kulikova_GitProtect_io]

Hello Community! Looking for your assistance :) 

I noticed that sometimes some articles have videos embedded into their articles. So, I'm wondering how it is possible to insert a video into the article so that it looks nice within the text. Any advice on that issue?

@Daria Kulikova_GitProtect_io there are a few ways to accomplish this. While I am no expert on all of the ways it can be done, I generally use one method. 

When editing an article you can use the Rich Text Editor and the HTML editor. I copy the HTML embed code for the video from the source (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.) and paste that code in to the HTML editor. From there I play with the video dimensions to get the right embed size on the page.

I hope this helps. I also hope that others see this and answer how they accomplish this as well.

Hello @Alberto Estévez ,

You need to switch from "Rich Text" to "HTML"

Thank you for your help @Daria Kulikova_GitProtect_io 
Looks like the option to switch views is only available to community leaders.
