When we are editing our\u00a0content in WordPress<\/strong>\u00a0to place it on our website we can place that video that complements the information.<\/p>\n The most common format that is currently used is MP4 and we can assemble it very easily in a few steps. Would you like to know how to insert an MP4 video into a WordPress post or page? Thinking of helping you, we have prepared this post that explains it to you.<\/p>\n First,\u00a0let’s keep in mind that the size of the video<\/strong>\u00a0that we upload may be 2Mb.\u00a0Once we start the account that we have registered in this web page editor and having emptied the content, we can look at the “Add object” icon.<\/p>\n This is located at the top of the\u00a0input editing<\/strong>\u00a0toolbar\u00a0and is easy to distinguish by its camera and music drawing.\u00a0When pressing them, a window will be available from where we can upload the files.<\/p>\n Now we have to choose\u00a0from where we want to upload the video.\u00a0It may be that we have it\u00a0saved in the files of our computer<\/strong>\u00a0or that we have an external link from which to extract it.<\/p>\n In case we have it on the computer, press “Select file” and this will take us to explore the folders saved on the PC.\u00a0When we find it, we click on it and wait for it to be fully loaded.<\/p>\n To add it\u00a0from an external link<\/strong>, we go to the site where it is and copy the URL.\u00a0We go\u00a0back to WordPress\u00a0and paste that address in the “video URL” section.\u00a0When you have done the upload, we click on “Insert into post.”<\/p>\n As the last step, click on the “Preview”<\/strong>\u00a0button\u00a0and it will give us a preview of how the video that we have placed in the entry will look like.\u00a0If the player works correctly we will see that the content will develop without problems.<\/p>\n With the certainty that what we want is present, we look for the\u00a0“Publish”<\/strong> button\u00a0that is towards the top right of the page, press and that’s it!<\/p>\n Video files with their tags and their respective metadata are as relevant as image or audio files.\u00a0The three sections that WordPress enables to mark the videos (name, legend and description), it is convenient that we fill them out.<\/p>\n The\u00a0multimedia<\/strong>\u00a0library\u00a0of this website editor allows handling and uploading of around\u00a0twenty\u00a0different video formats<\/strong>.<\/p>\n However, the native WordPress media player only supports the following video extensions: MP4, .WEBM, .WMV, .M4V, .OGV, and .FLV. To be able to reproduce any other extension, it can only be carried out if you have other plugins<\/strong>\u00a0to do it.<\/p>\n We have explained how we can insert an MP4 video on a page or post in WordPress.\u00a0Let’s remember to\u00a0label them properly<\/strong>\u00a0and insert it in the most appropriate place. We also clarify other small details that we must take into account when we have to work on our account in the application.<\/p>\n We hope that this content has been of great use to you, so leave us your comment and we will read it with pleasure, we want to be better every day and we will only achieve it with your help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A video can show everything we want to\u00a0convey and get\u00a0people’s\u00a0attention.\u00a0This can actually be more powerful than a simple image.\u00a0In fact, we can even embed an MP4 video in WordPress to get a lot of views.
