# Inserting video

 * I can insert pictures quite easily but videos do not appear. All I get is a link
   which shows the video in a new page when clicked. All I want to do is add the
   video so that it appears in post or page in the same way as the pictures do.
 * It’s strange because the edit panel offers the option to insert into video but
   all it seems to insert is the link.
 * I feel as though I’m missing something very simple. What do I do?
 * Any help would be appreciated.

 * That’s the standard WP video insert. It doesn’t provide a player as well. You
   may want to look for a plugin.

 * Make sure you’re inserting the embed code in the HTML editor, not the visual 
   editor.

 * I have this problem as well, I tried entering the embed code into the html section
   and still nothing. Do you just copy and paste it in and save? Do you need to 
   do something else?
 * If this doesn’t work what sort of plugin do I use and how do I go about using
   this.
 * Here is an example
