 * Hi, I am new to this plugin but wondered if a video can be embedded into a business
   profile? If not, is that a future possibility? Does anyone know how I could do
   this?
    Thanks!

 * Both the bio and notes fields support shortcodes. That said you can use the core
   WordPress `[embed]` shortcode to add videos.
 * Here’s a [link to the relevant FAQ](http://connections-pro.com/faqs/how-do-i-embed-a-youtube-or-vimeo-video-in-the-bio-or-notes-field/).
 * Hope that helps!

 * Hello again,
    I have made several attempts to embed a couple of youtube videos
   into the profile of two business clients. For some reason, they are not embedding
   rather showing the link which takes them over to youtube. I also embedded the
   same video on the front page of my website and it shows up there fine…What am
   I doing wrong? Thanks!

 * Hard to say, you using the share video link or the actual YouTube link? What 
   is the exact shortcode you are using?

 * That’s the iframe from YouTube… you need to use the `[embed]` shortcode as explained
   in [the FAQ](http://connections-pro.com/faqs/how-do-i-embed-a-youtube-or-vimeo-video-in-the-bio-or-notes-field/).
