Embed CodeLink to this section
If you are adding media from an external source that provides an embed code (such as Vimeo or YouTube), paste the code into the "Embed" tab of the "Insert/Edit Media" box. Then click Save.
We recommend embedding videos via Insert/Edit Media in the WYSIWYG toolbar. If you embed a YouTube video by pasting it into the source code of your page, you might encounter an error where the page cannot be edited. The error is caused by the default YouTube embed code being empty between the <iframe> and </iframe> elements and can be fixed by adding an between the <iframe> and </iframe> elements. Alternatively, add in a comment between the starting and closing <iframe> elements to prevent an empty iframe.
