I don't know if it's possible to upload Youtube videos to my blog in blogger itself, it would take up a lot of space and time anyway. Is there any timesaving and easy process to do? Thanks in advanced.

A short, practical update for : embedding a YouTube video in a Blogger post is by far the easiest, fastest option — it uses YouTube for storage and playback so you do not upload large files to Blogger. was right that an embed HTML snippet is used, and pointed to Blogger/YouTube integration; below are clear steps plus a small responsive example and troubleshooting tips.

Steps to embed (simple)

  • Upload the clip to your YouTube account (or use an existing public/unlisted video).
  • On the video page copy the embed iframe code YouTube provides.
  • In Blogger, open the post editor, switch to the HTML view, and paste the iframe where you want the player. Save/publish.

Responsive embed example (replace VIDEO_ID)

<div style="position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;">
  <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID" style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>

Troubleshooting and tips

  • If the video does not show, check its privacy (private videos do not embed) and whether the owner disabled embedding.
  • Use HTTPS in the iframe src on secure blogs.
  • Some Blogger themes or editors strip iframe tags in Compose mode — always paste in HTML mode.
  • Autoplay is commonly blocked on mobile; avoid relying on it.
  • For accessibility, add a short caption and avoid very small players.

This keeps your blog lightweight and avoids hosting issues while giving full control over placement and size.

It’s trouble to upload video files to blog. If you mean videos from you tube then there is an html code you can simply copy and put in your posts. It would be good if some tool can do this without understanding the html code.
