I installed the video module and activated video and video ui modules using Drupal 7: https://www.drupal.org/project/video

I created a content type with a video field. Now I can upload videos with this content type.

But I am not able to embed a youtube video. I can not find any settings or any embed widget as shown here.

I want to upload videos and I want to embed videos (youtube, vimeo..). But I can not find any way to embed a video unsig this video module.

Do I have to install further modules? On the module page you can read:

Video module allows you to embedded videos from YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Vine etc (Drupal 8 only) and upload videos and play using HTML5 video player.

I can not find out how to embed a video using this module. Can you help? I do not want to use another module, I want to find out how to embed videos using THIS module. Be in mind of this when you write your answer. Thank you.

  • Are you required to use the Video module. Or, are you just looking for a valid way to embed videos into some content?

  • I want to find out, why the desciption on the module page is wrong: "Video module allows you to embedded videos from YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Vine etc (Drupal 8 only) and upload videos and play using HTML5 video player."

  • Are you at all interested in an alternative way of embedding videos without using a module?

  • I think you did not understand the question: I do NOT want to embed a video within the text/body of a node!!!! Instead I want to go to Youtube site and click there under the video on share. There I can copy the embed code of this Youtube video or I can copy the URL of the youtube video. This URL or embed code I want to include into a Drupal field. This is what the module mentioned above does, but not for Drupal 7???

If you install the WYSIWYG module, you can enable a button for embedding videos that have been uploaded using the Video module, and then you can use that button to embed videos into content.

  • I did not find this button in CK Editor. And how is the video been uploaded? In a node field?

  • You have to upload the video into a separate node before it can be embedded. For the button, go to Admin -> Config -> Content Authoring -> WYSIWYG Profiles, then click 'edit' for the profile you want, expand 'buttons', and make sure the 'video' button is checked.

That's not what the Video module is for. It's for handling uploaded videos.

To get a video embed field use Video Embed Field.

Video Embed field creates a simple field type that allows you to embed videos from YouTube and Vimeo and show their thumbnail previews simply by entering the video's url.
