Our CEO, Peter Kalmstrom continues to share his vast knowledge of SharePoint with useful tips published on the kalmstrom.com website. Now he has released a demonstration on how to embed a video from YouTube into a SharePoint site.
All from guidelines to entertainment
Video demonstrations like the one above can be very useful to have on a SharePoint intranet, for instructions, lectures, information or maybe just for fun! A video from the latest office party will be a popular addition to the site, and it will enhance the good spirits within the group.
Not as easy as you might think
To embed a YouTube video in SharePoint one would think that you only have to add the embed code from YouTube into the SharePoint HTML, just like you do when you embed it in another website. And if you do so it looks very good at first ‒ but only until you save. Then the video disappears again.
Add a Web Part
To make the video stay also when you have saved the page, you must add a Content Editor Web Part and then add the embed code there. Peter shows you how to do that in a few easy steps. Try it, and you will have yet another way to use your SharePoint site!
kalmstrom.com demos
On the kalmstrom.com website you cannot only find demos in the Tips section. 
We also use them to present the various
kalmstrom.com Outlook add-ons, 
and each one of the products has a Demonstrations page with a number of
recorded instructions on installation,
configuration and usage.
The video demonstrations are of course not as easy to update as the manuals,
but they are good complements that really show users and evaluators “how to do it”.
