   Hi!

   Uploaded a video reel on one of my pages (actor here) and want it to play right on the page as opposed to a link that makes people download the video. How do I accomplish that?

   Thank you!
   Jean

   Upload it to youtube. And use one of the many plugins out there for displaying youtube videos on your posts/pages.

   Or, you can use an <embed> code to play it from your server.

   Hi Josh,

   Thank you for your reply. I'm more interested in the second option but not yet savvy enough to figure out how to do the <embed> code yet. BUT more than willing to learn. Any pointed as to how I can educate myself?

   Cheers!

   Try something like this in html view of your editor:
   

   <embed src="pathtoyourfile" />

   Change pathtoyourfile, and enter the absolute url of your video.
