Tips and tricks

If you have already had a blog on blogger.com, you can upload a video to your blog. There are 2 ways:

Step 1. Upload Video to YouTube

You can use our Free YouTube Uploader for this purpose. Here is a detailed guide How to upload a video to YouTube.

Step 2. Copy Code from YouTube

In internet browser open a YouTube video which you want to upload to your blog (something like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz8OInsZZ1c&feature=related).

To the right of the video you'll see an "embed" field with a code.

Select and copy the code.

Step 3. Post YouTube Video to Your Blog

Go to your blog on blogger.com, paste the code to a post (in Compose or in Edit HTML mode, as you like) and click "Publish Post".

That's all, YouTube video is on your blog now. It has already had a standart YouTube player, so you can control the movie.

Step 1. Convert Video

Blogger.com supports most popular video formats, but if it doesn't recognize your file you can convert it, for instance, to mp4 or avi using Free 3GP Video Converter.

Here is a guide How to convert video with Free 3GP Video Converter.

Step 2. Click Add Video

Click the Add Video icon on the right hand side of the post editor toolbar.

Note: this icon is available in Compose mode as well as in Edit HTML.

Step 3. Select Video to Upload

In the popup window, click "Browse" to find the video on your computer.

Fill in the Video Title field and tick "I agree to the Upload Terms and Conditions"

Click Upload Video and wait a little.

The exact amount of time required will depend on the size of your specific video and the speed of your internet connection.

Step 4. Upload Video

Now the video is on your blog and has a player (it's added automatically), so you can control your movie.

Videos uploaded through Blogger are hosted on Google Video, kept private and will not be included in Google Video search.
