Step 1. Disable Visual Editor on your user profile.
This one is required if you want to add videos as I have learned but it’s a simple process. Open your WP-Admin and then go to Users –> Your Profile (Step 1 in picture below). Simply remove check mark from “Use the visual editor …” (Step 2) and then click Update Profile (Step 3). Now you are done and ready to embed video into your post.

Step 2. Embed The Youtube Video into post or page.
Once you have disabled visual editor in your profile got to Manage menu in WP-Admin and choose “edit” for the post that video goes into. Your post will appear without visual editor, just like you see in picture below. Simply add yourtube video code (Step 1) and then Save (Step 2) your post. If post hasn’t been published yet – your option might be publish instead of save.

Once all steps completed and your post published simply return to your profile and re-enable visual editor. Please remember you will have to disable it every time you decide to edit content with embedded video. So there you have it – 2 simple steps to add youtube video to your web 2.0 Wordpress blog.
