 * Hi, 🙂
 * while I’m asking questions: How does one put a video in a WP page?
 * I thought I could do it by using the “embed” feature shown for YouTube videos,
   but when I put it into the Text view of the page, and look at the page… it looks
   like coding…
 * How is it done… Properly?

 * Starting with WordPress 4.0, WordPress now supports native embedding of certain
   videos, like Youtube . All you need to do is add the URL of the video that you
   want to embed like this:
 *     ```
       Awesome table tennis rally:
   
       Wasn't that great?
       ```
   
 * The URL should be on a separate line.
 * You can also use a shortcode if you need to specify the width & height. Documentation
   is [here](https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds).
