Another way to add video or other content into your pages is through embedding. A popular example of this is embedding a YouTube video into your post.
When you’re embedding a file, there’s no need to upload the file to your site. You’re basically just creating a link to the file, from within your own page. WordPress is able to automatically embed files from a number of different services.
To embed something into your Post or Page, simply select the appropriate Embed Block, paste the URL into the field and click the Embed button. The block will magically change to show the actual site content, right there in the editor.
WordPress has embed blocks for the following sites:
